Respect for sharing the tools even though you don’t like them.

It warmed my nerd heart that the first thing I spotted in the mpvpaper repo was an animated Steins Gate background.

If you run KDE Plasma as a Desktop Environment:

If you roll with Hyprland compositer for Wayland, I think it can do wallpapers.

I know I’ve seen 8/16/32bit videogame/anime sprites on some peoples setups.

Shameless self plug for a program I don’t even use because as cool as shaders for a wallpaper sounded…I prefer a nice anime one XD. https://hg.sr.ht/~scoopta/glpaper

I use swww for wayland. I’ve seen quite a few others with similar setups as well, though I don’t know how you do it on the Xorg side of things.

Wayland is a replacement for the X11 window system protocol and architecture with the aim to be easier to develop, extend, and maintain.

Wayland is the language (protocol) that applications can use to talk to a display server in order to make themselves visible and get input from the user (a person). A Wayland server is called a “compositor”. Applications are Wayland clients.
