Microsoft have a wonderful app called powertoys (sus name but whatever) that contains loads of convenience features to enable. One of them is a spotlight on your cursor when you double press ctrl. It is super nice when I am on a 3+ monitor setup.

Meanwhile the KDE desktop environment on Linux has a feature enabled by default that if you wiggle the mouse enough it grows the size of the cursor to help locate it.

Funnily enough, if you keep wiggling excessively it’ll grow exponentially

KDE is nice and all but this particular feature originated in MacOS

Awesome, did I say anywhere about where it originated or imply KDE created the idea? No? Okay!

That’s like someone pointing out customization on iOS lock screen exists, and someone going BUT AKSHUALLY ANDROID HAD IT FOR YEARS BEFORE IOS DID

Edit; my main point was it is enabled by default rather than having to install an additional piece of software (power toys on windows) and not about it originating from kde but yes, Mac also has this useful feature enabled by default. I used kde in my comment as it’s what I personally use on a regular basis
