Hi. I’m new in Bazzite (new in linux in general, but I’m working my way around). I want to set a screensaver, an image or something for when locking my screen, due to inactivity or just if I want it to. The thing is, I’ve found the settings, I know how to shortcut it, how to change appearence, etc, but it will just show a black screen when I do the shortcut (it doesn’t enter lockscreen mode automatically I dunno why). Also, ti doesn’t stay locked. I want to know if this is a known issue and if I can do anything to solve it. I’m using Bazzite with KDE. Thank you so much.

Does this [topic](https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/how-can-i-change-lock-screen-wallpaper/6553) help you?

I don’t know about screensavers, I haven’t used them in a long while due to modern monitors not needing them anymore.

yeah.. no ☹ I mean, is not like a huge problem but I bothers me a little bit. It doesn’t work changing the appearance, it just pop a black screen for like a second, it does not even stay longer. I still haven’t find the solution, I will keep looking, but thanks!
