neowall

GPU-accelerated Linux wallpaper engine that runs GLSL/Shadertoy shaders as your desktop background.

Desktopfree

neowall is an open-source, GPU-accelerated wallpaper engine for Linux that runs GLSL/Shadertoy shaders as an animated desktop background on Wayland and X11. It supports multiple monitors, reacts to system audio and load, and can even show a live terminal as the wallpaper, while pausing rendering when windows cover the screen. Built for Linux desktop users who want an animated, low-overhead wallpaper without a heavy dependency stack.
