Now rebranded as macOS, it runs on Apple devices like the Macbook and iMac, and allows you to manage files and run other programs like web browsers, video games and even screensavers.

In case you want to be the only one who can use the screensaver, simply copy it to the /Home/Screen Savers folder.
