The KDE wiggle wiggle is a feature that was enough to convert a friend of mine. Game compatibility? Nah. Win privacy issues? Nah. Giant fucking cursor? Wiggle wiggle, baby.

Lol, I didn't know of this feature. It keeps growing and growing!
Another giant cursor enjoyer
When I moved to Bazzite I tough I had broke something
How are you enjoying it? I'm debating between Mint and Bazzite. I'm a lifetime Windows guy that doesn't want 11 lol
I have mint in my desktop and bazzite on the htpc/gaming pc.
If you want to learn to use linux and have a more tradicional pc experience, mint.
If you want gamming, entertainment, and don't care about learning about your OS, bazzite.
Again not the original person you asked, but I found Bazzite a tad too restrictive - I couldn’t for the life of me get PIA’s VPN client installed (for all of those Linux ISOs on my home server).
Ended up switching to CachyOS, which is also very gaming-focused (and Arch-based, if that matters at all!). It’s a bit more open, allowing you to fiddle (or not) with everything a bit more than Bazzite.
As an aside, my only hang-up is that it sometimes hangs while trying to boot up the GUI (not sure why, hasn’t bothered me too much), and it can’t wake from Sleep - but I’m pretty sure that’s just something misconfigured in the BIOS.
Not the person you asked, but I've been running Bazzite for close to a year now. While my intention was an easy time installing any Linux on a laptop with dGPU, everything just works so nicely that it's my daily driver at the moment.
The only thing that drove me alomost nuts was installing a TFTP server on console. But once I found out about distrobox that was a solution.
That and the wobbly windows.
I quite miss inversed mouse cursors from Windows, so the next best thing I found for KDE Plasma was Hackneyed High Contrast cursors.
Wiggle wiggle. Hmmm…WIGGLE WIGGLE ah there you are.
Thanks KDE
I am pretty sure MacOS does this and that there is a Gnome extension for it as well.
God bless KDE
I kinda wish they hadn't fixed the bug that made the growth unlimited
That sounds like a feature
Did they, I use kde linux (kde os) and I get tired of wiggling before it stops growing. It gets bigger than my monitor.
Huh maybe they unfixed it? Just tried it and it seems unlimited again
Best feature ever! (5 monitors, constantly "loosing" that damn thing)
losing*
You don't need to tighten the thing, you need to find it.
Oh no, a non-native-tongue made a spelling-error on a fucking phone 😁 And I have no idea what you want to tell me. The kde-wiggling is the best thing to find it.
Well tighten it
[CTRL]
Oh, there it is!
I, too, use this feature!
I'm trying a new system of DM'ing in-person DnD games where I've got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.
It works well enough, but I have to remember to "give them the cursor back" when I'm done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can't find it, haha
I even have my cursor set to be large and neon green and I still manage to lose it.
Are you me?
Download and use mouse with out borders, then you get the fuck "extra screen you didn't know was turned on and is in the other room"
Tiling wm and mouse warping. It's wherever the hell I want it.
found it, it's in the top right corner
It’s usually on one of my off monitors.
If the cursor can go on a monitor that's currently off, there's something very weird with your configuration.
