I'm finally getting back into Blender (2.80, this time) and finding it all a bit of a new learning curve. In other words, they seemed to have moved the cheese. Now, I realise I can just have 2.80 emulate 2.79b but I would rather just go ahead and learn all the new stuff: good for exercising the grey matter and - like the whole right-mouse/left-mouse thing - the new interface is a significant improvement. So, no, don't get me wrong, I want to learn this.

I must have missed it somewhere but there's bound to be a solution for mouse-scroll-wheel increments: when I scroll to zoom in, I'm suddenly way too far in. I remember when I was dual-booting Windows/Linux Mint, I would have to unplug my dongle-based mouse and plug it back in to get the increments to be more rational. However, on the Mac - OLD Macbook Pro-ca 2012, but still able to run Mojave! - that little stratagem doesn't seem to bite. I realise I'm in an extreme minority, running Blender in a Mac environment, but perhaps someone would have an idea?

Getting back into Blender can indeed be a learning curve, especially with the changes in 2.80. Embracing the new features is a great mindset! For your mouse scroll issue, you might want to check the Preferences under Navigation for zoom settings. Adjusting the zoom speed or enabling "Auto Depth" might help. Also, consider using "Ctrl + Middle Mouse" for more controlled zooming. Happy blending!
