Honestly, this one's kinda hard to get with a good integration with systemd going. It's a complicated spec, and niri and cosmic have already done a really good job at it.
This should be fairly straightforward.
ext-session-lock-v1 already takes care of most of the
security features that xscreensaver implements. All that's needed is a
UI toolkit and the ability to load gifs. awww, the
wallpaper daemon should have the code for loading gifs and caching them
into memory. gtklock should already contain the code to
launch the gtk dialog box and such. There is a POC gtk4 port as well,
and I'd likely base it off of that and allow folks to load gifs. And
that should be done. However, it'd be in C, so a rust port would also be
needed.
Should be doable in the long run? Atleast qemu emulation and init to sh shouldn't be impossible.
This is especially annoying as I have to load the entire book every single time or I have to download it to the local device.
supac is
already a thing, and is pretty usable too! Check it out!
