      I used 2 wallpaper applications to achieve this, swww and swaybg

      1. For Niri, set layet rule
      layer-rule {
    match namespace="^wallpaper$"
    place-within-backdrop true
}
      1. Spawn at startup with niri swaybg -i .local/share/backgrounds/paint-blur.jpg &
      2. Independent of niri use swww to set wallpaper swww img .local/share/backgrounds/paint.jpg

      Hope this helps

        you could pick a random file from folader in a bash script… something like this:

        RANDOM_FILE=$(find "$SOURCE_FOLDER" -type f | shuf -n 1)
