You can put them onto your Plasma wallpaper and/or lockscreen background with plasma-wallpaper-application: https://invent.kde.org/dos/plasma-wallpaper-application

(thought I'd share that since its raison d'être was to put Asciiquarium there :))

Nice. This makes them actual screensavers in my view as opposed to just animations. (Not that screens require "saving" any more, but still.)
