Also, are malware-free cursor applications still a thing? Or does it make me an old man to want to do it in 2023?

    On Linux you can install whatever cursor pack you want and then select it… all in the terminal!

      And also out of the terminal if you’d prefer graphical settings on desktops like Plasma and XFCE, for example.

        Terminal makes things easy. I used to prefer gui, but now I just use terminal and ChatGPT because doing anything can simply be a matter of copy paste commands into the terminal from AI instead of having to research and/or navigate through settings menus to find the right setting.

            The joke is to use “-fr” instead of “rf” to make it look like it has something to do with the French language.

          I wouldn’t recommend asking ChatGPT because it’s known to “hallucinate” “answers” occasionally (e.g. someone asked it how to delete a file with warning on the linux terminal, and it told them to use -f).
