Meanwhile at Tuxedo OS:

Manager: "So, we need a set of Wallpapers for that Linux we have."

Worker: "Alright, so i suggest that we add some vistas from germany in there and some nature photography."

Manager: "Classic and beautiful, but i feel like we need a little twist to that."

Worker: "Alright, so was if we were to run an algorithm that turns random parts of the wallpaper into polygonal art?"

Manager: "How random exactly?"

Worker: "Totally! The only rule is that half of the wallpaper has to have that look but there's no rhyme or reason to which parts will be turned into polygons."

Manager: "I love it. Can we also super impose our logo on the wallpaper so that people can always rest assured that the Linux they booted is still the Linux they installed and that it's our Linux?"

Worker: "Absolutely sir!"

Most make me feel like im underwater,

Is there a shittywallpaper community? I would love this.

This one from 2010 has got to be my favourite:

Reminds me of being on the Millenium Falcon

For me the one from Fedora 7 was the most beautiful of them all.

Fedora 34 had the best wallpapers

I have a bunch of default wallpapers from windows and MacOS on shuffle in my KDE setup. I'm pretty amused with it, in my own dorky way.

endevouros wallpaper supremecy!

The wallpaper from Fedora 11 was my first introduction to Fedora and I completely loved it. Didn't stick with Fedora, but hey.

Honestly tho, it's amazing how bad a lot of distros look out of the box. Often even the preferred DE doesn't look quite right and all the alternative ones are just awful ports.

Slapping your logo onto something and matching the color scheme isn't designing dammit :D

TOTALLY, THANK YOU

Rare Ubuntu W

Then actually submit or vote for a better one

I actually really emjoyed fedora 37 default wallpaper. That kinda surreal cartoonish town looked nice

I would call it boaring, so in a way it is good. I like this one My desktop

Common Mint W

gentoo users: you guys have wallpapers?

*Debian

Bing wallpapers ftw

I love the fedora 34 one though

GIMP 2.7.2 knew how to make a wallpaper/splash screen.

I run silverblue for my tv computer and I can confirm!

OpenSUSE maintainers: hold my beer!

This is true, but it's also pretty much the only "shortcoming" of the OS

Objection.

I always run the default blue wallpaper with debian logo on it. Just simple and good.

Stock gnome wallpapers are all anyone needs
