I can configure variety to change the wallpaper on startup, but then it stays open, and it takes memory, is there a way to close it after it changes the wallpaper

Some bash scripting could do it - launch variety in background mode, instructing it to change wp when it launches, sleep for some time, and then send it an instruction to quit. This line works for me when I launch it from a terminal, you should be able to tweak it for your purposes:

( variety --next & ) && sleep 10 && variety -q
