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

    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

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

    By screen locker, what do you mean exactly? Do you mean a setting that automatically locks your screen after a preset amount of time? If so, yes I do.

    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.

    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
