How To Install The Latest Version Of XScreensaver On Linux Mint.

 This also works on Ubuntu, Debian Bookworm and all Debian and Ubuntu based distros.

Linux Mint and Ubuntu both come with XScreensaver but it is  5.45 which is a very old version. Debian Bookworm which I also have comes with version 6.06 but it is better to have the latest version. Both for security reasons and to get the latest features that the new version has to offer. Which is a better lockscreen and different lockscreen themes that are not in the old version.

Version 5.45 is very old and is years out of date. Also you are missing out on some nice new features of the latest version if you are running the old version.
