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.
Just like Drax in that Guardians of the Galaxy scene

Another giant cursor enjoyer
marcos@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Lol, I didn’t know of this feature. It keeps growing and growing!

When KDE Plasma 6 was released and the feature was introduced, there were bug reports that it just keeps growing indefinitely. And the dev who implemented it was like “yeah, I know. I thought that would be fun”

When my son and I discovered it on accident we spent the next 5 minutes wiggling the mouse as fast as we could to see who could make it the biggest lol

When I moved to Bazzite I tough I had broke something
Bosht@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
How are you enjoying it? I’m debating between Mint and Bazzite. I’m a lifetime Windows guy that doesn’t want 11 lol
VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
That and the wobbly windows.

I use the ctrl button to find it. There’s a setting in windows that activates it. Great for work presentations to highlight where you want people to focus, too
funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I believe you have to install power toys and enable it. i have it to ctrl+win+f
tmyakal@infosec.pub 2 weeks ago
Nope, it’s a default Windows ability. You can find it under the Accessibility settings, called Mouse indicator.
rekabis@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Power toys has the enhanced version, which is what I need due to six monitors. Yup, that cursor gets lost a lot.

I quite miss inversed mouse cursors from Windows, so the next best thing I found for KDE Plasma was Hackneyed High Contrast cursors.
StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
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”

In kde too

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
OR3X@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Only two monitors? Couldn’t be me.
ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
It’s usually on one of my off monitors.
kamen@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
If the cursor can go on a monitor that’s currently off, there’s something very weird with your configuration.

Literally giant magenta cursor now because I’m old and don’t have time for this nonsense anymore.
muxika@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Tiling wm and mouse warping. It’s wherever the hell I want it.

Wiggle wiggle. Hmmm…WIGGLE WIGGLE ah there you are.

atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I am pretty sure MacOS does this and that there is a Gnome extension for it as well.

I kinda wish they hadn’t fixed the bug that made the growth unlimited
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
That sounds like a feature
VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Did they, I use kde linux (kde os) and I get tired of wiggling before it stops growing. It gets bigger than my monitor.
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Best feature ever! (5 monitors, constantly “loosing” that damn thing)
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Well tighten it
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago

You don’t need to tighten the thing, you need to find it.
