    Nothing involving MS Windows or a VM is simple.

    I'm glad different desktop environments take different approaches. Gnome's userbase has been slowly increasing, but if their approach is wrong, fine, maybe KDE will take the lead. Or Enlightenment. Or XMonad, OK not XMonad.

    As for the original poster, if you really want a screensaver and Gnome, then I suspect you probably would end up duct taping, as you say.

    I think this might be the next big thing I focus on for #Askwise: https://github.com/DeadSuperHero/askwise/issues/32

      It is now obvious what is missing in the structure and operational flow. Up until this point, Askwise has been intended for single-project deployments, when in fact a multi-deployment system makes ...

    Sentry is a really awesome product.


    Yeah, I'm currently testing it out with an app of mine. Setup was actually pretty easy, and I was surprised to see it sending events from both my dev environment as well as a Heroku deployment. I'm trying to take notes on what things were easy, and what kind of things were confusing about setup.

    I don't start until sometime late next month, but I think it's important to start learning early.

        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt-get install electricsheep caffeine python-glade2


    launch xscreensaver. quit.

    add the following lines to  ~/.xscreensaver...just under    GL:     rubikblocks -root       \n\

    GL: electricsheep --root 1 \n\

    launch xscreensaver again and edit preferences...you should have electricsheep as an option now. Save, quit, restart ....should work.

    Well, I think at some stage the user base will drop enough so that they consider making up their mind. At least in my environment there is nobody who uses Gnome3, for exactly that "simplicity" reason. And I am back at macOS and windows for the same reason. Linux is now banned into a VM with WindowMaker and xterm, that's enough (btw, this is simplicity).

    What makes you think it would return, Eckhard? Gnome intentionally avoids bells & whistles that don't fit target audience or encourage bad habits, and people using CRTs (and therefore needing screensavers) are incredibly rare and probably not using Gnome.

    I'm not saying they shouldn't have a screensaver option. I'm saying it doesn't fit with a Gnome approach to the desktop. It's not simple or clean.

    It will take a few more years until Gnome reaches this stage again

    A mystery worth investigating: getting #ElectricSheep to work as a screensaver in #Gnome 3 on #Wayland.

    Electric Sheep is great; it's a beautiful program that has worked well for years. I'd argue that it's the only good screensaver on *nix. Compiling and running it in a Wayland environment is not an issue - it builds without incident, and the animation is as fluid as it ever was.



    However, Gnome 3 has no conceivable way to assign a default screensaver, because no feature or dedicated tool exists for that in the Gnome universe anymore. In the words of Gnome devs, You Don't Need That™.

    All I want is for the program to kick in if my computer has been idle for more than five minutes. Bonus points if it can be made into the background of the Gnome lock screen.

    I'm almost afraid that I may have to hack together some terrible wrapper script and duct tape a solution together myself.

    @dsh I wonder if there's an age difference between the GS and the MTD sides that may account for this.
