    For about a week, I had my coworker's face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.

    In my early edgy metal phase I used the Sign of the horns as a custom cursor.
    Fun fact, in Germany this hand sign is often called Pommesgabel (fries fork)

    Pommesgabel (fries fork)

    I was stationed in [the former West] Germany from 1985-1988. Upon arrival we had a week-long quickstart intro to German culture. One of the lessons taught was srsly, don't pick up your fries with your fingers!!! I forgot about that until reading your comment. :-)

    Miku Cursor

    https://github.com/supermariofps/hatsune-miku-linux-cursors/

    When my laptop is in presentation mode, I use this instead:

    Dot Cursor

    I'd love to implement my own cursor so I have things like cursor trail, but it's a lot harder than I thought. Something about hardware cursor.

    Volantes.

    Quite fond of it. To the point where I kind of have to use these cursors on any PC I seriously use. Ordinary cursors just look out of place. At the very least, I always want tailless cursors. Seeing a tail on my cursor just feels old-fashioned, vestigial, and cringe to me.

    That's interesting, i guess i'm the old fashioned type then cause i'm the reverse of that. Cursors without a tail always look off to me. It's why i never liked things like bibata eventhough it seems to be pretty popular.

    Call me weird, but the cursors are just about the only visual element of my desktop that I don't customize. Boring default X cursors all the way!

    Eyyyy there are dozens of us! I used to manage IT for a school trust - about 2000 endpoints - and I actually pushed it out to every single one of them. They're more pleasing to my eye, they scale perfectly and are easier to track. I got compliments from art teachers and SEND workers which is about as high a praise as you can imagine.

    Phinger Cursors, was using Capitaine Cursors before that but i didn't like that the pre-built binaries were hosted on pling, or atleast i couldn't figure out how to get the actual download url from there for the sake of packaging, and building from source takes so long, so i ended up looking for something that had pre-builts hosted elsewhere.

    After downloading tons of them, and trying them out on various computers over a range of screen sizes and resolutions, and also considering what fits with the vibe of my theming, I have ended up with Breeze. Pretty basic, but I love it. I have to use Windows at work, and got Breeze on there as well.

    I'm actually on Windows (please don't murder me), but I use KDE's Oxygen cursors, and have for about 12 years.

    On windows 11 you can turn your regular cursor various colors, including green and pink, and I wish KDE could do that. I could edit cursor vectors myself, but I don't wanna. Too lazy. I like colorful cursors because they're easier to find and track, but I don't want those big bloated cutesy cursors.

    Standard breeze, but I use light cursors on a dark background. I think that makes more sense.

    Not yet mentioned:

    Polar cursors - long time classic. The download seems to have a wrong extension, correct is .tar.bz2.

    I also just noticed Oreo cursors - not sure if I like them yet:
