Using Arch with KDE Plasma 5.17.5
I know, it is very petty inconvenience, but it still bothers me and I would like to know if and how I would go about resolving this.
So basically, when I boot my machine, before moving the mouse at all, the cursor is, by default, located on the left-middle section of my primary monitor (I have 2 monitors). For some stupid reason, this bugs me. I would like to know if and how I could change the default position to the center of my primary monitor?
Any help is appreciated!!

If this is an X11 session you can use "xdotool mousemove <x> <y>" to position the mouse (coordinates are relative to the root window, ie. the combined geometry - you cannot move the mouse out of the screen)

Okay so I tried the command after I installed the tool and everything worked fine. I wasn't quite sure how to set the default position with it, however. I figured this was a dumb idea, which it was, but I tried to create a crontab that would run that command upon boot, but no luck. Do you by chance know how I could use this tool to set the cursor's default position upon boot or login? Say in the middle of the screen (coordinates are (2640,540))

Have the script started by your DM, xinitrc or a session autologin mechanism?
