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.

There doesn't appear to be a limit to the maximum size the KDE cursor can get when you shake it. (files.catbox.moe)

I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.

This is KDE Plasma 6.

No, I don't think it is an easter egg. Probably just a missing check in code that needed to be done.

It's by design as mentioned in this bug report.

There is a hidden config to cap the over magnification on shake

OverMagnification=0

Where do you set this option?

By default on recent KDE but search shake mouse in desktop settings

This feature used to be in KDE 5 as well though, but with a size cap. I suspect the removal of the size cap is intentional rather than a bug.
