    Looks like Jamie Zawinski has no enthusiasm for supporting Wayland.

    Doesn?t mean the actual screensaver modules don?t work. You can still
    run them manually, or via your own wrapper script.

    Hi.

    Looking for suggestions for a screen saver for a Pi5 if anyone can advise?

    I've tried xscreensaver, but it doesn't work on my system as I'm running
    Bookworm.

    Configure it to use X11 rather than Wayland, and it will work, along
    with a lot of other things the Wayland developers insist you don't need.

    Was that "Wayland developer" or "Wayland apologist" ? :-)

    More importantly, given Jamie Zawinski is now supporting Wayland,
    which kind is he?

    Maybe "Wayland hostage" ?

    Answers to serious questions in response to a facetious comment are things
    I don't have at this point.
