    I kinda wish they hadn't fixed the bug that made the growth unlimited

    Did they, I use kde linux (kde os) and I get tired of wiggling before it stops growing. It gets bigger than my monitor.

    The KDE wiggle wiggle is a feature that was enough to convert a friend of mine. Game compatibility? Nah. Win privacy issues? Nah. Giant fucking cursor? Wiggle wiggle, baby.

    Lol, I didn't know of this feature. It keeps growing and growing!

    When KDE Plasma 6 was released and the feature was introduced, there were bug reports that it just keeps growing indefinitely. And the dev who implemented it was like "yeah, I know. I thought that would be fun"

    How are you enjoying it? I'm debating between Mint and Bazzite. I'm a lifetime Windows guy that doesn't want 11 lol

    Not the person you asked, but I've been running Bazzite for close to a year now. While my intention was an easy time installing any Linux on a laptop with dGPU, everything just works so nicely that it's my daily driver at the moment.
    The only thing that drove me alomost nuts was installing a TFTP server on console. But once I found out about distrobox that was a solution.

    Again not the original person you asked, but I found Bazzite a tad too restrictive - I couldn’t for the life of me get PIA’s VPN client installed (for all of those Linux ISOs on my home server).

    Ended up switching to CachyOS, which is also very gaming-focused (and Arch-based, if that matters at all!). It’s a bit more open, allowing you to fiddle (or not) with everything a bit more than Bazzite.

    As an aside, my only hang-up is that it sometimes hangs while trying to boot up the GUI (not sure why, hasn’t bothered me too much), and it can’t wake from Sleep - but I’m pretty sure that’s just something misconfigured in the BIOS.

    It's difficult to argue against Mint when your use case is a current windows user who just wants to drop Linux in its place.

    If you're putting it off you might be frustrated afterwards once you see how easy and fast it was, lol. If you make a bootable USB drive, which you should, you can boot to a live desktop and see linux running on your hardware before you install anything to a hard drive.

    I have recently converted from Mint, including a brief stint with LMDE, to good old Debian + KDE Plasma and I absolutely love it. But I am also enough of an enthusiast that the few extra setup steps were fine.

    I even have my cursor set to be large and neon green and I still manage to lose it.

    I use the ctrl button to find it. There's a setting in windows that activates it. Great for work presentations to highlight where you want people to focus, too

    Download and use mouse without borders, then you get the fuck "extra screen you didn't know was turned on and is in the other room"

    I quite miss inversed mouse cursors from Windows, so the next best thing I found for KDE Plasma was Hackneyed High Contrast cursors.

    I'm trying a new system of DM'ing in-person DnD games where I've got my laptop plugged in to a TV everyone can see, and my players pass around a wireless KB+M to move their tokens around.

    It works well enough, but I have to remember to "give them the cursor back" when I'm done doing things on the laptop screen, otherwise they can't find it, haha
