I find this hilarious. Is this an easter egg? When shaking my mouse cursor, I can get it to take up the whole screens height.
This is KDE Plasma 6.

Its not really an easter egg as far as I can tell. From what I understand it’s used to find the curser easily, similar to wjndows’ control-to-find. It is a bit comical to how big it gets thigh
That’s the bit the OP was wondering about. Not the feature itself, but the fact that it’s apparently uncapped in terms of maximum size
That’s a very Linuxy thing to do. The devs allow you to do whatever you want. If you want to have several 4K displays and find your cursor by shaking it, go right ahead. If you want to cover the entire display with a massive cursor, be my guest.
Microsoft and Apple seem to love limitations, whereas FOSS devs want to give users the freedom they deserve. Besides, there’s a valid use case for many things that would seem completely absurd to you and me. The devs can’t know what kind of weird situations the user have, so “sensible limits“ would only end up being infuriating.
This answer is probably better directed to the OP!
"What? This motherfucker still cant see me? "
“…”
“YOU FUCKING GOT IT CHAMP. YOU WANT BIG? I GOT BIG!”
That’s fair, I guess I read that a little wrong
