Did you know your distro carries a computer #art gallery?
It's called Xscreensaver. 30 years old and still getting updates.

A nerdy mix of simulations, interactivity and scene demos. All brilliant art.

Thank you @jwz for delighting this hacker again!

I came for the galaxy simulator, and stayed for Substrate. As always, for my 2 decades of Linux. I'll have to turn Substrate into a poster.

@dcz @jwz nothing against the awesome that is Xscreensaver/jwz, but my favorite is electricsheep:

Electric Sheep Crowdsourced Evolving Art

Electric Sheep is a collaborative abstract artwork run by thousands of people all over the world. When their computers 'sleep', the Electric Sheep comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as 'sheep'. Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard, which drives a genetic algorithm. Hence the flock evolves to please its global audience. The Electric Sheep are a free and open source service. The HD Gold Sheep have just been released!
