lmao When they implemented it I first thought this was one of those obscure KDE bugs.
Yeah. It's one of those things where I'm sure it's genuinely useful to some people but why on Earth is it on by default?!
Re: on by default
IMHO, the problem isn’t that it’s on by default, it’s the fine tuning of the feature. The velocity and pattern needed to trigger it + the lack of a reasonable max scale.
MacOS has had this on by default for a decade, but it feels more intentional when it appears. Meanwhile, I litterally still see KDE threads from people trying to troubleshoot “bugs” about their cursor size.
The KDE cursor needs about 15 min of a motion designer sitting next to the engineer that coded this.
