If the screen savers work like they did before, why would you care?

Sure, and what’s standing in the way of a vibe-coded port?

Make a bootable USB with the installer .iso of your choice - preferably put the Linux system on something other than your daily driver computer and get used to it before making the switch. Install to the hard drive and run it like you really would, booting a desktop from USB and using it without installing to the local hard drive is possible but it’s not a good experience.

I like photo slideshows… never had too much trouble with the various things that do that… A lot of times I’ll just have a rotating desktop wallpaper, if I want to watch the photos I just minimize my apps.

There’s no timed desktop lock?

The technical reasons for a screensaver pretty much vanished 10+ years ago, the security aspects are stronger than ever.

Outsourcing.

I don’t know who is arguing this because it’s incredibly stupid.

It’s not a hard question to solve: who profits from the argument?

Almost all modern architecture would collapse without the open source ecosystem.

If you yanked it away all at once, sure. Just like society would collapse if we quit delivering gasoline and diesel to the filling stations, or electricity to the grid.

If the opensource ecosystem “went closed” today, meaning: no new developments or changes allowed to be used by commercial entities, there would be an initial surge-panic to bring maintenance of the open source tools they use in-house, probably under shared development agreements - it would be interesting to see how the corporations handle that hypothetical scenario, but I don’t think they’d collapse at any greater rate than they already collapse as part of the course of regular business.

The ironic thing I think would come out of the open source community “cutting off” business use of their newly developed things is: I would predict business to adopt the open model to keep their customers off their backs, not have to handle support the way they did in the 1980s/ early 90s - that was super expensive as compared to: here’s a link to our website, you can find what you’re asking for in there.
