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).

If you are using an Nvidia GPU, please read this information.
