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?
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 :)
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 get home I’ll give it a try.
yes, there was an additional package you could install that came from the project that worked with xscreensaver
Honestly, play around with Xscreensaver - that’s a fun collection. I’ve currently settled on the Apple II screensaver and have a custom Python script pip Star Trek scripts to it.
The Nakagin capsule tower one is awesome, too.
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.
Looks cool tbh
