how to get Matrix screensaver in linux

Hello there,

Today we will learn how to get the Matrix code as a screensaver in linux. If you have watched the Matrix movie or like the screen text of the Matrix you can now enjoy it as screensaver.

There are two methods to install this screensaver. One is a GUI and another terminal based. Let's start with gui first as many people freakout for terminal method.

GUI METHOD

1) If you are already on Ubuntu based distribution like linux mint or mx linux. Then you need to open it's software center like the one in Android called play store. 

What's a linux distribution?

Linux is broadly categorised into flavours of different types of window managers. Linux was earlier only terminal based but with time we got different versions of linux as it was open sourced. We now have cinnamon, xfce, kde, gnome, openbox based flavours. So for beginners I would recommend trying linuxmint cinnamon edition if you are coming from windows and pop os if you are coming from Mac os. Although they are not exactly the same but your mileage may vary.

2) Once opened, search for xscreensaver app. Input your password and install it.

3) Open it from there and search for the screensaver at the bottom which indicates xmatrix. 

4) Click on it and choose the screensaver duration according to your liking. By default it's on 5 minutes 

TERMINAL METHOD

Open terminal by pressing Ctrl+alt+t 

Type the following commands.

Sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Press enter, then type

Sudo apt install xscreensaver-gl

Open xscreensaver from terminal or in your applications menu. And search for xmatrix option.

This tutorial is only for Ubuntu based distributions although for arch Linux based distributions you could try using the dnf commands but I'm only writing this tutorial based on what I've already tried and working on my system.

Don't get me wrong we can directly watch Jio tv on our tv but the app is optimised for mobile, so using it on a tv without a mouse or keyboard because a task. With kodi app you get to do everything with just the remote which came with the tv and the interface is relatively easy if you get the hang of it. Kodi can be difficult if you cannot figure out anything explained in this tutorial because you have never used this application.  Will try my level best to explain without any images because I don't have a massive following who reads my blogs and I don't want to waste my resources writing a good blog.
