I miss screensavers so bad that I'm actually watching a video I created over and over again in full screen mode.

Any way to bring back screensavers or perhaps set this as one?

Which is more important in obtaining the truth, "what" or "why"? Trick question. They are of equal importance.

Yep, you are the only one . I'm rocking with xscreensaver
I never really saw the point of them, at least once TFTs and decent power control became common-place.
I dont miss them at all. Why waste energy to display something that nobody is watching?
Most of my Linux machines don't have monitors attached. No point in a screen saver. Even when I'm not sitting behind the desktop PC, it is usually busy doing something useful, so anything that takes processor or RAM away is undesirable. Telling the screen to save power is preferred.
I do watch videos or recorded TV on a 3rd monitor while I'm working, but nothing too interesting. It needs to be mindless or I can't concentrate.

Why LTS release? Mark Thread SOLVED.
Use "code tags".
Closing the lid of a laptop or turning off the monitor and putting a desktop to sleep will do the job of saving energy these days and will also be available in a matter of seconds when the machine needs to be resumed.
Because I love to render files in Blender for long periods of time (often hours) which means I can't shut my laptop . I have this weird urge to see my screen actually working when my computer is open for some reason . It looks so empty when it's open and the screen's off.

I specifically miss the old 16-bit "After Dark" screen savers from the mid-1990s (think Windows 95). Nirvana, Frost and Fire, Satori, Mountains, Penrose....
