Variety & TWMs
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

Hey! I made a small python script to periodically change the desktop background on Ubuntu 20.04LTS
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.

Live Wallpaper Software Needed
You can try to compile it. I tested this on Budgie. Open the terminal and run the following commands: sudo eopkg up to make sure you are updated. sudo eopkg it -c system.devel sudo eopkg it git clutter-gst-devel clutter-gtk-devel libgee-devel libwebkit-gtk-devel vala git clone https://github.com/Komorebi-Fork/komorebi.git cd komorebi meson build --prefix=/usr cd build && meson compile sudo meson install

Persona 5 themed Thinkpad with Linux.
It's not a tilling manager per se, actually; it's GNOME 3.38 with the pop-shell extension—the same window tilling software you'd be using with Pop OS. If you're running Arch, you can get it from the AUR. For the wallpaper, I'm using komorebi. I think it's made for GNOME but I've never tried it myself with another desktop envirotment or window manager. You can also get this one from the AUR.
