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.

edit: I found the solution

The culprit was onboard, which allows you to activate this - but it persists even after onboard is closed

orginal post

Since yesterday my laptop/tablet (a shiftbook/shift13mi) with nixos and kde plasma shows hover click behavior (i.e., whenever I hover my cursor over something clickable like a button or a link a timer is going down and then it clicks the thing). I did not consciously activate it and it is VERY annoying. After a reboot it was still there but I saw the following window attached to this post.

Searching for it so far has only brought me the insight that KDE Plasma should not even have hover click, only gnome has that. Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

About my system:

Operating System: NixOS 23.11

While I did not figure out a solution yet, but I found out some additional information and came to the conclusion that nixos must have built something weirdly. Thus I posted on the nixos forum and will likely only update there: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/how-to-turn-off-gnome-hover-click-on-kde-plasma-and-why-did-it-get-activated-in-the-first-place/36643
