How the Packaging Lag screensaver works

The saver reads the source described above and draws it on a canvas — no account, no tracking.

Software packages that most Linux distributions still ship at an older version than upstream has released, gathered key-less by the pipeline. A high count is not always neglect: long-term-support distributions freeze versions deliberately.

It refreshes on a schedule, so what you see stays current.

Colours and any options can be changed in settings; nothing is stored beyond your own browser.
