Asking because I only recently realized that I’ve been running KDE default wallpapers for over a year without noticing. I’m also debating whether to switch to something more “fun” and aligned to my hobbies

As far as I’m aware, popular OSes/DEs tend to have a healthy selection of high-quality default wallpapers, and some OSes/DEs even have wallpaper “shops”. So I’d like to ask what you all use! If you are using a custom one, love to hear where/why you got it.

If you want to share your custom wallpaper feel free to

Edit: thank you all! I didn’t realize how many of you use solid colors… as well as the number of people who don’t think too much about wallpapers since you don’t look at it often (frankly the same for me). For the ones who shared: thanks a ton. Also fun story: there was a recurring joke on r/Unixporn about anime wallpapers but I guess it is not remotely as popular outside of the ricing community

    I cannot share them because I ain’t letting there be any chance of my favorite online artist know, but for a while I have been using a few of my favorites of his work in a background slideshow that changes every five minutes. It’s wholesome furry art.

    Before that, I was using wallpapers done from the guy who does the Pepper & Carrot webcomic. Then before that, I used a screenshot from a music video and had copies where all I did was open them up in Krita and change the colours around .

    That’s for my laptop.

    For my desktop, my final and only windows device ( still running 10 but I’m moving it to an SSD and removing internet access so I can switch to mint most likely because of my dad making the switch scarely enough ), I currently have a lot of Tails fanart off of Pixiv I have running as a slideshow.

    Before that, I used some images like a random Sly Cooper image I found or this fantastic image of the 2 main characters of the webcomic Peter & Company chilling under a tree as Peter plays on his switch and his guardian angel reads a book. Pretty normal furry stuff, I guess

    I almost never use OS default backgrounds besides right now in a couple VMs I have to do some college work.
