The Gnome desktop environment is generally loaded with choices when it comes to screensavers, and more are always easy to get. After installation I always find that one of my first tasks is always adjusting the time before my screensaver becomes activated.

Finding Your Settings

Launch The Control Center

The Gnome control center can be opened using the commands below.
