I use i3 lock, scrot and imagemagik to make my lock screen a blurred version of my actual screen
Swaylock, but the one with effects. Using it to leave a blurred picture of the current screen without anything readable. Works well for two years now, is wayland only
By screen locker, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean a setting that automatically locks your screen after a preset amount of time? If so, yes I do.
slock. i don't really use anything else from the suckless people, but i like how minimal slock is
None currently, because I live with my family and if I wanted to hide anything from them (which I don't), I could just switch to a tty, or log out. Most of my work is done in VSCodium or Vivaldi, which save their sessions, although I have considered doing one just in case.
I've always used i3lock. I also made a script to randomly select a background. Plus the login password circle thing looks cool. Would definitely recommend.
@senslayer As a longtime XFCE user, I've mainly used xflock4. I've tried others over time, but xflock4 is the one that I've used the most....
i3lock triggered manually with ctrl-alt-L from OpenBox. It's a force of habit to lock it manually, so no timer necessary. I3lock is lightweight, supports a background image, and has a nice fast password prompt with support for ctrl-u etc.
I tried gtklock for a hot second. Then uninstalled as it does not support ext-session-lock-v1

There was one I used to use that just made the screen black and had no visuals to indicate typing or anything working. Typing the correct password and hitting enter would unlock. I think there was some thing about it not being secure after some shift in typical Linux distro defaults and now I just use the default kde locker because lazy
Swaylock with Hyprland, I just run it from a terminal whenever I want to lock my screen but I guess I should make a keyboard shortcut for it.
