My kinda wallpaper!
- Username checks out 👍 😀
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 (TM).
- 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
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)
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.
  
  Hmm interesting. Thanks for the answer, will try these binaries.
Jamie Zawinski for the win.
