Now to make it all RGB and shit 👾
To be even more leet, check out the included screensaver “Gibson”. You can hack the Gibson to find the garbage file like a one of the true Hackers ™.
Oh that was my first choice, but the load was pretty high once I turned everything up to my satisfaction lol 😭
It clearly takes a lot of work to hack the planet :)
It should get code from own repository and display for better effect :D
My kinda wallpaper!
Username checks out 👍 😀
Jamie Zawinski for the win.
I used to follow/admire jwz but he can be so toxic/pedantic. Never really interacted with him because of how we would sometimes reply to people and block them. Hideki Kamiya vibes.
Don’t take me wrong, he is in his right of blocking whoever he wants, but it would just make me feel bad how some interactions would go with him.
He also is oddly enraged about Debian including slightly old versions of Xscreensaver in stable. I get his reasons - dumb people will submit bug reports for things that might already be fixed - but also, Debian has a promise to keep and is well within their rights since the software is FOSS.
Is there a Wayland equivalent of it?
Not quite. Upon a Google, it looks like they are hacks, but Wayland doesn’t support programs (like the Xscreensaver daemon) blanking the screen and would need a standard to do so.
However, these screensavers are just individual binaries that the daemon executes, so although they won’t pop up automatically, you should still be able to run and enjoy them as fun little graphics demos.
Lubuntu ?
We just installed one as a media player for a show and this popped up when sitting unused
Welcome to the club 🤗
No actually, it’s a huge pain in the butt process on Plasma, but the built-in ones weren’t fun enough 😀
KDE Plasma does not really support the X11 session anymore. It will break more and more, switch to Wayland ;) there are screensavers too I think (the concept is silly lol)
They know, the wanted to run xscreensaver though.
Yeah but forcefully trying to do exactly that results in bad workarounds and trouble. This was the explanation
