From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

So I like this MacOS feature where your cursor displays in large. I was hoping if anyone knew of such software that replicates this functionality for Linux. Considering MacOS and Linux are both Unix, and libraries are different, could X or Wayland help replicate this?
KDE Plasma 6 will introduce it, it will come before spring next year.
Gnome has something like that too probably with an extension (I will look it up for you), natively it has something similar with ctrl double click, even better imo.
Btw, MacOS and Linux don't have much in common, at least on the surface. Only because Mac has something in it's UI doesn't mean Linux must have it too.
Edit: Yep, here it is, just how I expected it :D If you imagine something, Gnome has an extension for it if you search long enough for it :)
I think KDE had something like this when I used it years ago
Iirc it is something like show me where the curser is when I press control, and then big circles around the cursor appear.
Windows has it too. Who stole it from whom I don't know, but I have a suspicion that windows did the usual thing and copied from plasma.
