Yes, I remember koules, played that a lot.
That is the saddest thing about Wayland, a lot of cool little X applications will stop working and be forgotten about.
There is xfishtank, I posted this screen to remind people about it years ago. I kick that off every so often for fun.

There are many many more of these little clients that will disappear once Linux disables X. Never mind other cool things, a couple I remember: lavaclock, bubblefishymon, catclock, xplanet.
- hollerith 3y agoI think only the parts of X that talk directly to the graphics hardware are being abandoned and that many of the things you mention will continue to work.
- jmclnx 3y agoSome may, but xfishtank, xplanet and xscreensaver on root window will not. You can do this to get a matrix wallpaper, this will work with many xscreensaver "utilities" /usr/libexec/xscreensaver/xmatrix --root where this is on your distro may be different.
- csdvrx 3y agoOn wayland, I have an animated wallpaper of a forest: https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/11w3zzj/hyprland_wayab_hyprland_animated_background_forest/ https://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn/comments/11w3zzj/hyprland_... Why can't we bring the apps you mention to wayland as a background? For the foreground, the compositor could even use the alpha channel to draw see through snowflakes: I have foot in quaketerm mode showing what's behind. Replace foot by a smaller snowflake, make more than one of them, and it should be the same! Or am I missing something?
