    Have to 100% agree with you. I’m very privacy centered and it’s great having just about everything on my system be open source to the 3D modeling software to the coding software I use. I personally love Linux for the customization options as they pretty much limitless. Recently changed around my KDE desktop and I am in love with how it looks. Could never get a look out of Windows. The terminal animations are so fun to mess around with. I’ve seen the Matrix one but I also love Pipes.sh for the terminal window too. It’s really cool what things you can do in it.

    pipes.sh is probably my favorite terminal screensaver but I am wondering if there's more terminal screensavers that I haven't heard of.

    Sometimes I leave my computer and after around 10-15 minutes the monitor turns off. I would like to change the time it takes to turn off the monitor and, if possible, trigger a screensaver animation like pipes.sh.
