Are there at least some plans to implement screensavers into Wayland? Is there any way to override Wayland’s restrictions and set a screensaver up?

    Until they fix being able to use screensavers -XScreenSaver at the very least- on Wayland, we’ll never have the “Year of Linux on the desktop".

      My solution was to set up xscreensaver how I wanted it in X11 and then start it via CLI as a background app on system startup for wayland.

      You can’t manage screensaver settings from wayland, but you can force it into working.

      I’m on Kubuntu 24.04
