Two Linux distributions which run as screensavers for Microsoft Windows. One contains educational software aimed roughly at UK Key Stage 2 (8-11 years old); the other contains many open source games. To use, 'extract all' the zip files, run the installer 'exe's, and then select either the 'fr2' or 'gk2' screensaver.

The git repository also contains a script which will build the material to run under Windows Subsystem for Linux version 2.

These screensavers were featured by the Linux Foundation here https://www.linux.com/featured/linux-as-a-screensaver-for-windows-the-gift-of-open-source-games-and-sboms-for-the-holidays/ and were mentioned in the OpenSource.com 2022 gift list here https://opensource.com/article/22/11/gift-ideas-open-source-enthusiasts.

File QemuSaverOpen-1-10.torrent , the featured download, will fetch the release for you.

Versions of these screensavers date back to 2005 when they were featured in an IBM Developerworks article.
