From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are there at least some plans to implement screensavers into Wayland? Is there any way to override Wayland's restrictions and set a screensaver up?

You are completly missing my point.

I never said you should or should not do something, for all i care you can use wayland protocols in some hellbent way instead of systemd itself.

What I am saing is that it is bad form to complain the devs are not making what you want if you neither pay nor develop yourself to bring something to the table.

I said it the forth time now, I am out.

No one is doing what you’re describing. If you would like to verify that for yourself there’s a ton of well documented back and forth on various platforms that indicates a complex and long running effort.
