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.

I have to disagree.
The inverted cursor is part of the default Windows mouse cursor themes.
@OP I don't think it's a default on any Linux Desktop Environments though. But you might be able to find a theme that does this. Perhaps a relevant forum post, that mentioned a keyboard shortcut to quickly locate your cursor.
You are disagreeing and then saying totally correct other thing that I also agree with.
Yes, the inverted cursor themes are installed in every Windows, they are not enabled by default, you have to go to options and enable them, which is a part of customizing your installation to your needs.
I wouldn't count "selecting a different theme" as customizing. But yes, seems we do agree.
