    There’s no less than two GUI for that setting, because the two devs got mad at each other and forked it. Only one GUI actually work, but it’s not the one that your distro ships with. Once you manage to compile the right GUI, you’ll find that in your version, because you didn’t get the optional libs from an obscure Russian website that’s been static since 2007, it only works if you run it right after killing the screensaver timing process. Otherwise you have to edit an undocumented .config file, and do it everytime you reboot your system… Unless you remember that there’s a special variant of vi to edit the screensaver config file.

    I love Linux, but sometimes I don’t feel the love go both ways.

      This is 100% bullshit. Zero of this is accurate. Cinnamon IS a fork of gnome 3 but that’s it

      Don’t lie on the Internet for attention. It’s embarrassing
