when locking the screen, or when logging out?

if it’s the former, how will running programs not crash?

When locking the screen. The running programs will freeze until you unlock it again.

This is up to the implementation of the DE 😀

Also on the phone you want probably listen to music, when it is locked.

Gnome plans to add some options like, if you want to use this feature at all or lock securely only after X time after screen is locked. But I think. the implementation hasn’t really started yet

For sure all DE will provide some options.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
