Where I work just switching into a TTY would be enough to keep anyone out.

Kscreenlocker because it came as default and I made it look identical to sddm

I use i3 lock, scrot and imagemagik to make my lock screen a blurred version of my actual screen

Whatever comes with GNOME/gdm.

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

slock. i don’t really use anything else from the suckless people, but i like how minimal slock is

None.

Why? Erm, living by myself I don’t need to lock myself out ;)

Whatever one comes with Manjaro KDE.

Because I don’t really care.

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.

Waylock, because it keeps sway locked even if the screen locker crashes.

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

Still haven’t gotten around to setting one up but I plan to. Speaking of which, recommendations for Wayland screen lockers that can also act as a screensaver?

I thought that slock was too complicated so I wrote a tiny one for myself in Go using xgb. Less than 100 lines and pretty straightforward but it makes some assumption about my personal setup so not public.

SDDM 0.20 Wayland mode is awesome!
