With LXQt I have rediscovered the joys of screensavers !!
Questions for linux users:
1. I wonder why one no longer finds screensavers in modern OSes. Is it just a fashion thing?
2. With increasing adoption of wayland, I wonder if any replacements/lookalikes are in the works. I really hope so!
Does anyone have more info ?

but thankfully there are parts of my #surfhosting tech stack which are fairly settled already:
OS: #LinuxMint; #Debian (with #LXQt if needed, or #BunsenLabs); #OpenWRT
Virtualization: #Proxmox
Hardware: refurb "1-liter" #1LPC business #miniPC from HP, Dell, Lenovo, with mid to high end CPU
Network: #GLiNet and #FriendlyElec #NanoPi routers / network-attached devices; #PiVPN
Phone: #VoipMS with dedicated SIP phone, plus softphone apps for limited use
Power: 90% of everything powered from compact #GaN USB-PD power supplies; 24/7 gear backed by ~15 year old consumer UPSes with drop-in LFP 12V batteries

I see that #FriendlyElec has come out with a successor to the NanoPi M4 called the NanoPi M6.
https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/NanoPi_M6
I saw the #NanoPi M6 when looking at the list of boards with platinum Armbian support.
I set up Armbian and installed #LXQt on the M4 yesterday, which is a substantially slower system than the M6, and it's pretty usable for basic low-complexity desktop stuff. Youtube in Chromium with UBlock Lite is pretty serviceable.
the fact it has Armbian platinum support is a selling point. less lock-in to FriendlyElec's custom Debian/Ubuntu releases. #miniPC

Hab mir heute mal ein altes #Dell #Inspiron 1520 vorgenommen. #Debian mit #LXQt rauf, aber WLAN wollte erst nicht. Irgendwie hat 'contrib' in den Paketquellen gefehlt und damit auch die Firmware Module. Gefixt und dann ne Runde gefreut.
Das Teil ist ca. von 2005 mit Intel #Core 2 Duo T5250 (Centrino). Dafür läuft es erstaunlich fix.
