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.

Bazzite KDE: I have a stupid bug that zooms the mouse cursor (Solved) (slrpnk.net)

The cursor randomly enlarges every now and then. Anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you solved it?

Could this be due to using different containers? I use flatpaks for everything apart from a few exceptions where I use distrobox, and in these the Plasma cursor is slightly different, but it doesn't justify the bug but just a different version of the cursor.

I thought there was a scaling issue when I first installed. Now that I've discovered it's a feature, I love it!
