variety VS plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic

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. :)

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

There is a plugin for this too: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic/tree/main

As far as I understand you are talking about this plugin. I don't know c++ and half of the code was like a black magic, but if I get it correctly, it encodes your images with libavif, and adds custom metadata ([solar/time of day] -> json -> base64).

You are looking for dynamic wallpapers

Hi all, I am relatively new to debian, so please go easy on me, recently I installed this program https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic (built it from source)

Something like that yeah, except it keeps changing throughout the day. I use this for it, but it still was a bit of set up work.

There's some projects like this one that provide something like what you're asking, there's isn't a built-in solution yet

Here is a dynamic wallpaper for plasma5: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic

For dynamic wallpapers there's the plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic plugin and it works quite well, except it seems to add a little to the login times.
