Changelog:

• Conty can now use Nvidia libraries from the host system. Previously, it would download the Nvidia driver (the same version as the host system) from the official website and install it inside the container, and if you didn't have internet, it would simply fail.
  Now it can copy Nvidia libraries directly from the host system to the container, which is useful, for example, for systems that do not have an internet connection.
  This new way is automatically used when the driver downloading fails. If you want, you can force Conty to always skip the downloading and use this new way by using NVIDIA_HANDLER=2 env variable.
  This feature hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, so let me know if you experience any issues with it.

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, prismlauncher, qbittorrent, genymotion. 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 your connection is very unstable and/or you can't download large files from GitHub, you can try to download via torrent.
