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.

For about a week, I had my coworker's face as my cursor. Just because I could. I wanted to see how long it would take people to notice. I share my screen a lot. I was surprised it took that long.
In my early edgy metal phase I used the Sign of the horns as a custom cursor.
Fun fact, in Germany this hand sign is often called Pommesgabel (fries fork)
I was stationed in [the former West] Germany from 1985-1988. Upon arrival we had a week-long quickstart intro to German culture. One of the lessons taught was srsly, don't pick up your fries with your fingers!!! I forgot about that until reading your comment. :-)
Last time I used a custom cursor was bart.xbm in mwm in 1990 or something...
