@coolboymew Hours of fun

@slash On Win 7, I found a program that could then run the old after dark screensavers. The semi-games ones were fun

@coolboymew screensavers should really come back, especially since OLEDs have burn in issues so they’d be functionally useful again.

@slash I wonder if there's something out there to easily run Windows screensavers on linux

@coolboymew @slash maybe wine because they literally are an eexecutable format on windows

@Moon @slash I've heard, but then you run into the problem of not having a proper system setting window for them, so you can't properly set them up if needed

@Moon @slash so the issue is that you'd need some program to act as that setting window working with wine and working in the background as the thing that starts the screensaver

Couldn't be too hard to make, but I do wonder why it's not a thing

@Moon @slash Then again, I do wonder how the screensaver setting system call even works. If there's a standard where screensaver.src --setting works, then all you'd need is a central program to take care of the rest

@coolboymew @slash i don't understand why it would be so hard to just have xscreensaver launch wine which launches the scr
