That's hilarious

>>106911143 (OP)
Usecase for Microsoft edge?

>>106911155
It's even better in motion

It is a nice feature when you can't locate where the curser is.
And in more recent versions of KDE, the curser is an SVG and doesn't get blurry as it gets bigger.

this would spook me if I didn't know about it

>cursor scales up anchored to middle/middle

this kind of detail reflects hackneyed design work

>>106911179
Chrome but better

>>106911195
Where am I looking?

............but why?

>>106911380
Not that guy but I'm on 6.4.5 and it's not blurry. It's crisp. Probably some configuration difference.

let me guess, x11 and nvidia fag?

>>106911195
damn nigga that's scary

>>106911700
No, there's only Wayland and AMD faggotry on my system.

Definitely crisper than OP, but still looks to be bitmap.

This is the article by a KDE maintainer mentioning the SVG cursor:
https://pointieststick.com/2024/06/28/this-week-in-kde-everything-i-think/

>>106912011
Same here. Still has a bit of blurriness for some reason.
Running Fedora KDE 42, Wayland, AMD integrated graphics.

>>106912249
is this a virus sir

why the fuck does every toolkit render different cursor on linux? i dont even notice it but it's just fucking baffling to me

>>106912828

I literally spent half of my class this morning enlarging my cursor on my computer

kek

>>106911581
Multiple displays.
Big displays.
>where the fuck did I leave the cursor?

But the low res makes it funnier

>Windows cursor: white
>MacOS cursor: black
>Linux cursor: dobson

my mouse starts fucking double clicking again. shill me a new mouse

thanks for telling me to change my cursor settings, for some reason the drop shadow on the cursor was disabled on my computer. i also changed the color and size of the cursor but then i felt bad knowing that the more customization i do in windows the more unique my telemetry info will be so i switched it back to the lame white color and regular size

amazon basics

>>106913788
anyone tried a vertical mouse? those look comfy

>>106913449
MacOS does the big cursor thing too though I don't know if it gets larger indefinitely.

Mac OS had this for like 10 years now

>>106911345
Typical mac user; claims everything is stolen from macOS when every single "revolutionary" "game changing" feature added to macOS was ripped straight from Windows or a FOSS DE.

>>106913790
Vertical mice are nice, but if you want one that doesn't double-click, you'll need a vertical mouse with optical switches, which doesn't exist.

>>106913790
I have the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical, it's pretty good but I wish it had a second scroll wheel for your thumb.

>>106913887
>second scroll wheel for your thumb
holy shit, i need that. why is this not standart?

>>106913900
I have no idea, it doesn't seem very common on name-brand vertical mice but maybe there's some good chink ones out there with it. Hopefully the V3 has one.

>>106911195
i just make the cursor that big all the time when i am using computers that are liable to have the cursor disappear under normal use

>>106913942
i do that to every public computer in my company (IT and IT security are a joke)

I thought this was some kind of bug at first. Why would anyone ever have this on by default on any distro

>>106914315
You're just jealous because your cursor can't get erections.

>>106911143 (OP)
b-bigger...

>>106911493
i reinstalled at some point in the middle of the Win10 lifecycle and forgot to install chrome one day.

They're literally the same fucking SHIT

>>106911195
IT'S JUST LIKE WINDOWS TRY IT GUYS

>>106911143 (OP)
why mac does that?

>>106912249
LMAO this one got me

>>106913812
Nope. No fun allowed.
Still bummed they took out the slo-mo animation you could do when minimizing windows or Exposé.

>>106911195
OH LAWD HE COMIN'

>a bit
Wiggling it for a good minute is not a bit.
In any case it's a neat feature that works when you need it but also lets you mess with if you want, it's fun that's how computers used to be.

>>106911143 (OP)
>>106911195
Its intentional, but also your kde is outdated. The font is vector graphics in latest kde when it changes size so it doesn't look like shit

>>106912828
Its a wayland (gayland) issue. In gayland every application is responsible for setting the cursor image. On x11 it works like windows and every sane system where cursor image is not changed unless you explicitly change it to another image (such as in games)

>>106911195
Wow

>>106915254
boop

>>106916454
i'm on uncomposited X11
can't reproduce this now but it was either GTK or QT overwriting it, i probably changed the cursor in the config file

they're still in macOS (up to Sequoia last time I checked), just disabled by default.
defaults write com.apple.dock slow-motion-allowed -bool true && killall Dock

how lame.
unlimited growing is teh way

>>106915254
use case for picking ebussi's nose?

Windows version of this:

Install powertoys
Double tap ctrl

I also accepted that I'm getting older and my eyes are shit and just set the cursor size to 2. Harder to lose it when its bigger.
