Fuck off Microsoft.
You can disable screen saver on OSX Windows and Linux though.

Neck yourself, faggot
Why is everyone so mad? It is a basic feature other operating systems have had for years.
Nice FUD Pajeet

Exactly, so why does the screensaver activate if they are not in full screen?
>>53405309
>anime stream
wintards confirmed for faggots
There is literally no point in using a screensaver on modern displays... unless you're incapable of locking your PC before you go AFK...
PEBCAK
>>53404787
...screensaver? you must be using a shitty DE op. none of my WMs have this. it's like a single checkbox to disable in most DEs. gnome doesn't bother with screen savers either. sorry about the retardation op
>>53404787
Why the hell would you use a screen saver?
If I'm not at my computer I just turn the monitors off, but that isn't often.
>>53404787xset s off
xset -dpms
You don't even need Caffeine.
If you're using Unity, GNOME, KDE, XFCE, or any other DE worth a shit, you can just go into your settings and disable the screensaver via GUI.

What? the Linux kernel doesn't have a screensaver. What the fuck are you on about?

Yeah, to windows users two lines of text is pretty convoluted

Yeah, since Windows users don't need to do them, because it works properly out of the box

Linux comes in many forms (with GNU, without GNU, in Android, etc). Calling them all shit because you don't like one OS that uses it is pretty childish.
Do people still use screesavers?
>>53404787
Thanks for telling me. I'm using Linux and I would've never found this. If the video is not playing in full screen then I'm either doing something else at the same time or I'm AFK anyway and only want the sound.
>>53408443
Yes, but they mostly function as lock screens now.

>>53404787
Who is this cum collector?
>>53404908
Yeah, but this feature actually requires the developer to signal the OS to temporarily disable power saving. So blame the devs, not the OS.

and winfags complain that linux uses technologies from the 80's, while they still use screensavers?
DEs have options to disable it via gui.

There have been a few updates since 3.1
But hey I'm on your side, just got my first Linux machine (Mint) going TODAY. I know where the future is.
This is my first post on it.

dude, I use windows, but really?
Do your research, Windows releases have just been an add on from the previous release. Windows XP is windows NT 5.1. Which is just an add on from windows NT 4.0 and 3.1 windows vista is windows NT 6 which is just added on features from the previous windows 7 is NT 6.1, literally vista with a few extras and better compatibility.

Its newer so it must be better

Fuck off to playing your manchild shitty League game, you weaboo wintard.
>>53404787
Yet another basic feature that Linux fails at.
Linux is so hilarious unusable, it's almost like a joke.
Hey at least you can enable that screensaver.
If I let my display go to sleep in Xubuntu, I'm not getting it back unless I open a different session or open up a terminal and use xrandr blindly to bring it back from the death.
>>53408385
This, /flt/ exists for a reason.
>>53409437
>>whole kernel is built on hacks and workarounds
This is obviously a complaint by someone who never had to write software that deals directly with hardware. Or BIOS.
>>53404787
so what version of "the linux" are we talking about OP?
I've used many, using one right now (debian testing) and I've never run into this issue. Maybe you're just retarded.
>>53407973
