KDE Plasma has a desktop effect called "Track Mouse" after you activate it you can use it by pressing Ctrl+Meta. It doesn't look like the MacOS variant, but it does the job.
Thanks for pointing that out, I found the setting on my laptop and tried it out. I do like the jiggle approach better, though, simply because that is something many people (myself included) instinctively do when losing track of the mouse cursor.
On my Mac running yabai it sometimes gets into this weird state where the mouse does this as it toggles rapidly back and forth between some windows. No idea what causes it…
On Linux I run i3 which kinda negates the need for the mouse finder since it will move the cursor to the active window.
I guess I didn’t remotely answer you question though!
No worries, I’m also not that much of a fast replyer.
Have you disabled auto start in the DHCP profile?
I probably could have been a bit clearer what I mean too: Those profiles with DHCP enabled in network manager should have a ‘Connect automatically’ toggle, maybe try just turning them off instead of deleting them, and make sure they’re turned on for the static IP profile.
I also haven’t used Xubuntu in a while, and this is mostly for Debian KDE and Ubuntu, so I’m hoping it’s the same.
I thought that might have been it. The DHCP profiles didn’t exist last time I looked, but the static address profiles were set to auto start.
I noticed last night that the ethernet adapters changed, and the static profiles didn’t update to match. The adapters were named something like enp6so, but used to be enp2so, for example.
The DHCP profiles matched the new device names, and the static profiles were stuck on the old names.
Changing the static profiles to match the updated device names and deleting the DHCP profiles seems to have worked for now, but I don’t know why they changed in the first place.
When folks will stop with the “If Linux won’t become another Windows, it’ll fail” mentality? Linux is not Winblows – and we really mean it. To “increase adoption” users need to acknowledge (only) this – that both Windows and Linux differs from one another and that won’t change in any time soon.
And it still kinda breaks my brain when I look at an expression. When I just look at it it looks like utter gibberish, but when I say to myself, “okay, what’s this doing?”
And go through it character by character, it turns into something I can comprehend.
