Raspberry Pi OS • Re: How to launch xscreensaver in GUI

xscreensaver won't work with Wayland. You have to switch to X11.
Somebody should put together an authoritative list of all the things that don't work in the new Wayland/Rpi5OS world, including:

1) VNC
2) Screensaver
(Pretty much everything else that is X-based/specific. I assume Xephyr would also be here)

and many others that I can't think of right now.

It'd be like if Microsoft replaced the Windows GUI and API with something brand new and different, and then expected everybody to buy all new software, since all the existing base would stop working.

Which will probably happen some day...
