      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.
