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.

Thought this would be dead simple to find on google, but NOPE! Is it even possible? I've been trying different searches for over half an hour now.

That sounds tricky since a mouse doesn't return its axes back to the center position on its own.

Even if you emulated it, like I've experienced some games doing, why would you want it? It feels weird as hell having the cursor or aim snap back once you stop moving the mouse entirely (rocket League does this if setting camera movement to mouse).
