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?

    Wayland devs develop stuff for wayland and most of them work for free, those that are payd are usually payd to do stuff that is needed by their employer. Spoiler alert: employers don’t give a damn about screensavers.

    If you need additional stuff you need to either develop it yourself, or pay someone to do it for you.

    This attitude of pressuring devs to do the work for you works if you pay for something, in opensource it is usually frowned upon.

    People can complain all they like, if it ain’t useful to those who pay or those who work on it, it won’t be done.

    In my opinion that is a feature not a bug.

      lol “The corporate overlords of Wayland don’t owe you feature parity, snowflake and that’s a good thing” is a hell of a take.

        My point is they are not corporate overlords, that is the good thing smh

        And yes, feature parity with a thing written in the eighties might not be a good idea either
