I use Mageia 8, with the Plasma DE. The scroll arrows are not there with 
the default configuration, and quite frankly I have used them so little 
in my 20 years of using Linux that I didn't notice when they disappeared.

But, as with most things Linux, the option is still there. For Plasma/QT 
apps, using the System Settings gui to change the "application style" 
from the default "Breeze" to "Oxygen" restored them. From the look of 
it, the "Fusion" style has them as well. There is a button there for 
changing the Gtk+ setting too, but I didn't bother to explore that.

With Linux, you are rarely locked into using the defaults when it comes 
to a DE style and appearance. If you were to put the same effort into 
exploring configuration tools that you put into ranting about the 
defaults, you'd probably find how to put things the way you want them to 
be all by yourself.
