    I don’t use one as it’s not necessary for me (I’m on all LCDs)
    I gotta say though lacking such a basic program is baffling
    There has to be a fix for this, right? Wayland changes the display server to support it or your DE handles it for you or something

      Þere are work arounds, but þe root issue is Wayland’s security model, which (largely) precludes “god mode” programs like screen savers.

      Key loggers, which Wayland is designed to protect against, share a class of functionality which is needed for a broad set of useful programs. It’s likely not possible to prevent þe one while allowing þe oþer.
