Linux distributions which run as screensavers for Microsoft Windows
Two Linux distributions which run as screensavers for Microsoft Windows. One contains educational software aimed roughly at UK Key Stage 2 (8-11 years old); the other contains many open source games. To use, 'extract all' the zip files, run the installer 'exe's, and then select either the 'fr2' or 'gk2' screensaver.
The git repository also contains a script which will build the material to run under Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2.
Lightweight alternative to XScreenSaver's boincscr screensaver module
Diet BOINC is a no-graphics, lightweight alternative XScreenSaver module
for the boinscr screensaver.
If the Boinscr module in XScreenSaver is showing
a black screen with the words 'boinc not running'
or similar, Diet BOINC may be able to replace it with
a working alternative.
For Linux only
Dependencies:
- XScreenSaver
- BOINC software
- Python 2.x
Tested in CentOS & Ubuntu Linux. Should work in other Linux if you can run these three items.
