AI Recommendation
1 suggestionAbstractile is a screen saver module distributed as part of the xscreensaver package, not as a standalone app. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed in the community, which means the xscreensaver collection has been updated to include native support. To get the native version on your Mac, you will need to reinstall or update the xscreensaver package from the vendor's official source. The most straightforward path is to visit the xscreensaver project website and download the latest macOS build, which will automatically detect your Mac's architecture and serve the native Universal Binary. After installation, your screen saver preferences and settings will carry over. If you originally installed xscreensaver via Homebrew, running `brew upgrade xscreensaver` will pull the native build automatically, assuming your Homebrew installation is current.
