Le KDE plasma when you shake the mouse pointer:
Le KDE Track Mouse feature:
KDE’s great, but cursor finding stuff isn’t a Linux specific selling point.
Windows has had an option to highlight your mouse when pressing Ctrl since at least Windows XP, possibly as far back as 98. It’s an option through the old control panel all the way through 10, and I believe 11 as well (but I use the powertoys version on 11, it looks better than the built in one).
Pretty sure Mac has/had the “wiggle to make the cursor big” thing for a while too.
KDE cursor shake is enabled by default. And an easy to find checkbox in the settings.
I don’t think most Windows 10 or 11 users look through the old control panel anymore. I have honestly never seen anyone enable the ctrl cursor highlight before, but the cursor shake is enabled on most KDE systems I interact with.
