There's plenty of tools for this. I wrote a light and simple one that shows a tiny thumbnail, [`shotman`](https://git.sr.ht/~whynothugo/shotman). But there's plenty others of all sorts.

There's a few tools for this: https://github.com/natpen/awesome-wayland#tools

There's none that I can notice. Mice cursor are rendered with hardware support when available. Not sure what you reference is here.

All this works on non-nvidia. I can't speak for nvidia, I'd suggest avoiding nvidia if you want to use Linux (or any other floss OS). Generally, nvidia on Linux isn't very pleasant.

I'm not 100% sure what you're asking.

Some compositors don't use the hw cursor plane. All others that do don't update the cursor position asynchronously on mouse events, just once on the next swap. Those cases add an extra half-frame latency on average. It's worse at lower refresh rates.

Your tool works on wlroots compositors, which is to say it doesn't work on GNOME or KDE.
