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.

Ok, it's not your mouse, it's something else, probably a rendering issue. Can I make a wild guess? Are you on X11? In that case try this:

Add this

Section "Device"  
    Identifier "AMD"  
    Driver "amdgpu"  
    Option "SWCursor" "True"  
    Option "VariableRefresh" "True"  
EndSection   

to a new file called /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-amdgpu.conf and reboot.

AMD GPUs sometimes have this wild random bug with hardware cursor rendering.

Be aware, that you might get some side effects, like flickering buttons when hovering with the mouse.

Wow thanks! Thats Magic you are a Wizard of the Internet. Now i can use this beautiful os <3

Im no expert, but... Make sure your os is updated. If you have a wireless mouse try using it with the cable. Maybe download mouse drivers via terminal? Also mandatory have you tried turning your PC off and on again?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes its updated several Problem No Cursor but in can Control the oc with the invisible Cursor.

Try a different mouse. Try your mouse on a different computer.

In the same vein, often times changing the port the mouse is connected to fixes it for me.
