Update available! This version is very old.

Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?

Maybe not as important, but I still like having a fancy futuristic animation when a device is locked and idle.

I hope Wayland gets screensaver support at some point.

Absolutely. I still miss my After Dark screensavers from Windows 3.1. They can be fun and add a lot of character to a desktop computer.

I hope it gets support too. X didn't get all its features overnight, and Wayland won't either.
