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

As in video wallpapers? Sure. KDE Plasma for one lets you install a bunch of wallpaper plugins ranging from video playback to live computed shaders and everything in between.

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.

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.
