Changelog:

• Added a simple graphical interface, which is used by default when Conty launched without any arguments not from a terminal emulator (for example, from a file manager or from a desktop file). If you want, you can also run the GUI from a terminal by using the -g argument.

  How it looks

  

• Added NVIDIA_HANDLER function, which should fix issues related to Nvidia GPUs and the proprietary driver versions mismatch between the host system and the container. If you are using an Nvidia GPU and encountering any issues running any graphical applications (including games), please try this new feature and let me know if it fixes your issues or not, i would appreciate any feedback. It is disabled by default, but can be enabled like this:

   $ NVIDIA_HANDLER=1 ./conty.sh [command] [arguments]
  

Usage:

$ chmod +x conty.sh
$ ./conty.sh [command] [arguments]

Versions:

• The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: base-devel, gcc, mingw-w64-gcc, firefox, meson, cmake, jre-openjdk, multimc5 and qbittorrent. If you don't plan to use any of these programs, i recommend to use the lite version.
• conty_wine.sh contains only Wine and its dependencies. Note that the other Conty versions include Wine too, but if you only need Wine and nothing else, you can use this Conty version, it takes up less disk space than the others.
• conty_dwarfs.sh, conty_lite_dwarfs.sh and conty_wine_dwarfs.sh are the same as the regular versions, except they are compressed with DwarFS instead of SquashFS, thus they take less disk space. Apart from better compression, DwarFS also has better caching and better multithreading support, and in my experience it reads compressed files noticeably faster than SquashFS (specifically squashfuse). However, the benefit of squashfuse is that it uses less memory.

zsync files are for the zsync2 program. If you have any of the previous releases of Conty downloaded, you can use zsync2 to reduce data needed for downloading a new release. This may be useful if you have slow internet connection or internet data cap. Read zsync manual for more information. Please note that zsync may sometimes not reduce the amount of downloaded data by much (for example, if the new Conty release is significantly different from one you are currently using).

If you are using an Nvidia GPU, please read this information, and please try the NVIDIA_HANDLER function described above in the changelog.
