I came across this old IBM screen saver on a old machine and thought it was pretty cool. I set it up on my work laptop, but not Im curious if there are any cool linux or other screen savers you guys know?
Anyone remember the castaway? The adventures of a guy on a one-tree desert island.
From outside their new NY office, you can see a room with We 🧡 A 👁. I guess they keep their ideas. They probably don’t have too many new ones.
I don’t think I’ve used a screen saver in over a decade
It’s better to just put the display to sleep when it’s not in use anyways. We only used screensavers because CRT monitors took so long to fully warm up.
Now there’s some nostalgia right there. I haven’t seen that since, what, 1998 or something?
i forgot which desktop-environment/window-manager it was (icewm?) but it had a nice collection of old screensavers like the pipe maze and the bouncing marque and starfied warp and flying toasters, etc.
it was almost 20 years ago so i assume that ms or apple would have come suing by now
Pretty sure you’re describing XScreenSaver! Still alive and well :)
yes, there was an additional package you could install that came from the project that worked with xscreensaver
I would bet your right. One of the best collections of screensavers out there. I know they work on X but I haven’t yet tried on Wayland. Guess when I her home I’ll give it a try.
