Big Linux noob here, apologies if this is the wrong place to ask this question
My situation and problem:
Im using a dual monitor display setup
Gaming becomes impossible without a reliable way of locking down the mouse cursor to the game output display
On my Windows 10 machine i solve this problem by using a program called "Dual monitor tools"
I tried running that program on here using wine but that doesn't work
I've been looking for a linux alternative and I can't seem to find anything except for a piece of software on the AUR called "jail" which I was unable to get working
Is there any software for this on linux? Specifically for locking the cursor to a particular monitor
