Hi.

Looking for suggestions for a screen saver for a Pi5 if anyone can advise?

I've tried xscreensaver, but it doesn't work on my system as I'm running 
Bookworm.

I know most monitors nowadays don't suffer from burn-in, but I have four 
different devices connected to the same monitor, and it's useful to have a 
scrolling message identifying which device is currently displaying when I 
come back to my desk.

The monitor also switches itself off if it has no input for about 10 
minutes, and I don't want that to happen.

There's probably a setting in the monitor's menu that either disables that 
feature, or at least would allow me to extend the time before it powers 
off, but I'd still like a working screen saver for it.

TIA,
