• 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. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine on Steam Deck Desktop Mode.

  There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use. Source: over 1 year ago

• Is there an alternative to wallpaper engine on Linux for gnome

  Theres also numerous Gnome extensions for Wallpapers, and I have been using this http://peterlevi.com/variety. Source: over 1 year ago

• Wallpaper engine alternative on Linux Mint

  I really like Variety: https://peterlevi.com/variety/ (I don't think you can grab animated wallpaper, but maybe you can). I actually use it to grab images from r/SkyPorn, r/EarthPorn, r/waterporn, r/DessertPorn & r/EarthPorn. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Last time it took me 30 minutes

  Pfff... Or you can just use Variety and eliminate the need to even download new wallpapers altogether. 🙄. Source: almost 2 years ago

  I used to use https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/ and it's cool. But latest years I just stick to Snow Leopard. A bit of nostalgia. :). Source: 12 months ago

• Do you use your photos as wallpapers?

  I use https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/ on my desktop PC. Find it a great way to see our travel photos that would otherwise just sit in a folder and not been seen for ages. Just set it to choose a random image from a defined folder every 10 minutes. Source: almost 2 years ago

• looking for random assorted wallpapers for my dual monitor setup (1 : 2560x1080) (1: 1920x1080)

  I use John's background switcher https://johnsad.ventures/software/backgroundswitcher/. It's very customizable for every kind of setup. Source: almost 2 years ago

• why can i not have separate background images?

  You need a third party wallpaper manager to do that. Many of them have this feature. I use John’s Background Switcher. It can set a different wallpaper on each monitor, randomized from your collection. Source: over 2 years ago
