variety VS linux-wallpaperengine

This! https://github.com/varietywalls/variety

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. :)

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

If you use the KDE desktop environment you can use the following repo: wallpaper-engine-kde-plugin There is a generic repo but for me it never worked, but I'll leave it here anyways: linux-wallpaperengine

And before people start saying I can use things like feh or xwinwrap to set the desktop, that won't work as my use case is to use this plugin to run wallpaper engine in kde. There are alternatives like this but they don't render all the effects so its not as pretty.

Pop os use Gnome so it would not work. There is this work in progress project working on this problem. https://github.com/Almamu/linux-wallpaperengine

Im attempting to use https://github.com/Almamu/linux-wallpaperengine and in order for it run as a desktop wallpaper I have to stop anything else from drawing the wallpaper. Ive done some googling around and am unable to find anything regarding this, so I figured what better place than here to ask.

Wallpaper Engine doesn't work on Linux. but if you like to Tinker, there is this project https://github.com/Almamu/linux-wallpaperengine which aims to provide a compatible version. But if you don't really know how to Tinker with Linux, you might need help or might not want to try it.

There is a clone in development: https://github.com/Almamu/linux-wallpaperengine

There might be a back-end way to make it work, but I'm not sure. For instance, this program is "an attempt to make wallpaper engine wallpapers compatible with Linux"
