open-gpu-kernel-modules VS variety

I also love that it can be done with just a few code line changes:

> I do love AMD because its drivers are open source as opposed to nVidia.

AMD's drivers are not really more open that Nvidia's. Similar to Nvidia's Open GPU Kernel Module's[0], AMD's opensource drivers are mostly a shim that wrap firmware blobs[1] in which the functionality you really care about is contained.

My understanding is that nowadays most of the heavy lifting is done by magic going on in the firmware, so the actual driver is relatively simple and is open source: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules

Check this issue

That's only for a small subset of their more recent GPUs, as you can see here: https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#compatible...

Update: it is a driver issue, see https://github.com/NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules/issues/522

Seems like other people using variety have had the same issue of \TypeError: gobject `variety+Util+VarietyMetadata' doesn't support property `path'``, reported here and here. Might still caused by using it with nix, idk, I'm no expert in how exactly nix handles python

Want a simple way? Variety. :)

Variété

This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources.

There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use.

Any reason you don't just use variety?

Theres also numerous Gnome extensions for Wallpapers, and I have been using this http://peterlevi.com/variety
