The concept behind this fix is simple.
If you enabled the experimental fractional-scaling feature in eg. Ubuntu 20.04, you probably noticed that, upon login, a dead cursor gets stuck on screen, and a second bigger one appears.
This problem is fixed, however, if you switch back to 1.0x scale, apply, and then get back to your desired one.
To automate this process, I developed a small Java open-source fix that automatically does it after logging in.

You simply have to input your screen settings in config.yml, logout, re-login and you should notice your screen flashing twice.
The dead cursor should disappear.
