   Screensaver got Pi5

   Hi.   
      
   Looking for suggestions for a screen saver for a Pi5 if anyone can advise?   
      
   I've tried xscreensaver, but it doesn't work on my system as I'm running   
   Bookworm.   
      
   I know most monitors nowadays don't suffer from burn-in, but I have four   
   different devices connected to the same monitor, and it's useful to have a   
   scrolling message identifying which device is currently displaying when I   
   come back to my desk.   
      
   The monitor also switches itself off if it has no input for about 10   
   minutes, and I don't want that to happen.   
      
   There's probably a setting in the monitor's menu that either disables that   
   feature, or at least would allow me to extend the time before it powers   
   off, but I'd still like a working screen saver for it.   
      
   TIA,
