Changelog:

  • Conty now properly handles non-standard home directories (which are outside of /home).
  • Fixed launching gamescope. Gamescope has been broken since it first appeared in Conty, but now it works correctly.
  • Added the ability to disable access to X server (DISABLE_X11 env variable). For example, this is useful if you want to restrict access to Xwayland on Wayland. Note that even with this variable enabled applications, if they really want to, can still access your X server if it does not use XAUTHORITY and listens to abstract socket.
  • Integrated utils updated to the latest versions.
  • A few other fixes and improvements.

Usage:

chmod +x conty.sh
./conty.sh command command_arguments

The lite version (conty_lite.sh) includes everything from the regular version (conty.sh), except for: 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_dwarfs.sh and conty_lite_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 the one you are currently using).
