quartz composer sizzle reel

here's a long reel of many of the Quartz Composer compositions that mostly I made during a roughly ten year span of time in the early 2000's. There are some clips of compositions that George Toledo created, too.
We miss Quartz Composer.
Is there anything similar we could use on Linux? Node-based potentially-interactive animated image generation tool? Blender's compositor is similar in concept, but designed more around image editing than wholesale generation, and only works atop prerendered footage.
Perhaps we could use Godot, although that feels like overkill. I at least seem to recall it having node facilities, but that may have been strictly for programming tasks rather than visual generation.
Or possibly I could use Godot to build our own...
I can't believe I haven't asked this yet, but I completely forgot it existed. :3
Is there an open-source substitute for Apple's #QuartzComposer? It's basically a node-graph-based animation/screen saver/visualization system (focused on original images rather than manipulation of existing footage), and it's absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, I don't think it's being actively developed anymore. ): And it's OS X-specific anyway.
I've seen #PureData, but that seems to be focused mainly on audio?
