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.

Screensavers on Wayland (sh.itjust.works)

Are there at least some plans to implement screensavers into Wayland? Is there any way to override Wayland's restrictions and set a screensaver up?

Until they fix being able to use screensavers -XScreenSaver at the very least- on Wayland, we’ll never have the “Year of Linux on the desktop".

My solution was to set up xscreensaver how I wanted it in X11 and then start it via CLI as a background app on system startup for wayland.

You can't manage screensaver settings from wayland, but you can force it into working.

I'm on Kubuntu 24.04
