Xfce's Screensaver Is Now Faster & Smarter About Conserving Power/Resources

[DanL]

The internet etiquette says that write on the topic

You just complained about Firefox and ALSA in a thread about Redox OS. It takes a very deluded person to think that is "on topic" just because Firefox and Redox OS use Rust.

The internet etiquette says that write on the topic and do not note about typos and insult other users like the user tildearrow does 24/7/365. Technical facts are not propaganda.

I think that correcting typos is a good thing. I'm a grammar nazi and I like when someone point out my typos, I correct even old stuff. I also always correct typos on wikipedia.

Isn't Debian still using Xfce 4.6 something?

I can't tell if you're being serious or exaggerating because you think all versions of Debian use ancient stuff. Either way, the answer is no: https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/xfce4

In before debianxfce comes and spreads his propaganda again...

Too late. Although if he had actually given a straightforward response to the question above, it wouldn't have been propaganda.

screensavers are now suspended when monitors are powered off via DPMS in order to conserve power, since it's a waste of resources to be displaying the screensaver when there is no monitor to see said screensaver

On this part I facepalmed so hard. This would be the first thing I think of about when writing screensaver utility - states when screensaver should actually run.

Its there an alternative way to go premium,
Instead of been forced to give all my valuable personal data to pay-pal??

I don't want to create account there..
And you have no other option

From looking at past XFCE releases it seems they have a major update around once every 5 years. Looking forward to their next major release (however I think I will stick to Gnome-shell this time around.)
