Linux Screensavers for Microsoft Windows download

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.

These screensavers were featured by the Linux Foundation here https://www.linux.com/featured/linux-as-a-screensaver-for-windows-the-gift-of-open-source-games-and-sboms-for-the-holidays/ and were mentioned in the OpenSource.com 2022 gift list here https://opensource.com/article/22/11/gift-ideas-open-source-enthusiasts.

The release1 directory contains the two screensavers described above. The release0 directory contains earlier versions of the screensavers, some dating back to 2005 when they were featured in an IBM Developerworks article.
