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 occasionally see a larger cursor on GNOME, but it's always been alongside larger scaling for everything. Steam in particular sometimes decides to ignore it's high DPI setting and looks like it's running on a phone screen. Firefox occasionally as well.
This must be some issue with how DPI modes are recorded and how apps are launched. Restarting the app has fixed it every time for me, so I've never looked deeper into it.
