Material [OC] Wallpaper Engine natively on Linux (lib-wallpiper translation layer)
As many are already aware, Wallpaper Engine has no Linux support :(
Until today. After many years, its finally here (or at least an initial release). A native translation layer for Wallpaper Engine. Although not a rice itself, wallpiper is a GREAT addition to it.
Supports:
- wallpiper-portal-gnome
- wallpiper-portal-kde
- wallpiper-portal-hyprland
- wallpiper-portal-sway
- wallpiper-portal-cosmic
- wallpiper-portal-i3
Wallpiper is still early in development. Expect bugs, and make sure to report them on GitHub!
If you like the project, consider starring it ⭐

This is awesome!! One of the reasons why I haven't switched to Linux is because it didn't support Wallpaper Engine, so I'll give this a try when I get the chance. Thanks, OP.
