From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What cursors do you use on Wayland? (programming.dev)

I like my Breeze-hacked cursor but I think it's time to find a native Wayland replacement.

I have some problems with X11 cursors and that's quite normal with Wayland obviously. For example, my cursor can become invisible if my screen sleeps. Additional controllers that control mouse cursor don't control X11 cursor, however they still work, I just don't know where the cursor is unless it highlights something. Things like this.

It's becoming kinda inconvenient so I'm asking for a replacement. Currently I don't really care how it looks.

I'm on River by the way.

I don’t know if these are wayland cursors or not, but I’m using Polarnight

They are Xcursor, same as Breeze-hacked. Honestly only native Wayland cursor I know of is Hyprcursor, but that only works with Hyprland it seems.

I actually use Hyprland and I also have Hyprcursor installed, but for some reason there are like 3-4 different cursors depending on which program I’m using

I think those are changing according to which sandbox environment you currently use. Probably one for root account (for programs you use with sudo), one for flatpaks and one for normal user.

Ah yes that makes sense. I do have a small number of flatpaks installed
