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?

Just installed xscreensaver and it works more or less. i don't think it can screenlock but haven't tested everything. Just popped up a terminal and ran xscreensaver-settings and it asked if I wanted to run the server. Picked a few savers off the list changed the times and waited. Only working on one desktop but that doesn't bother me. A little buggy, hard to get it to stop with a mouse wiggle or keypress. Have to switch desktops and kill the pid. Better than it was a year ago though. Might work better in kde than in hyprland?

Using Arch, wayland, xorg-wayland
