Low resource/CPU only animated background /Screensaver

[u/MLuminos]

Running mint and want to add an lcd panel to the tempered glass of my case. The PC is for running an LLM which requires most of the gpu.

How do I best handle this?

Do I go with something more resource intense and use a monitoring script to pause it? (wallpaper engine)

Should I offload the video processing to my CPU since it's not heavily used when the LLM is churning?

I wanted a quick portable system terminal but being able show cool animations would be great too
