Code:

apt search matrix

or similar should result in cmatrix.

Code:

sudo apt-get install cmatrix -yqq && cmatrix -bs

not ncurses however.

The Xscreensaver package contains a matrix-like screensaver out-of-the-box. It's graphical, though, not ncurses. I don't think I've encountered an ncurses-like screensaver on Linux, though there is very much I don't know.

oh that's very sad.
it's curses-based.
hmm, at least on archlinux it definitely depends on ncurses.

oh, and there's also ncmatrix:

and btw, any ol' terminal window can be used as a screensaver with a little fiddling.
one of these days i'll write an article about it...
