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!"

I have to google image search that. Pretty accurate.

Lmao I looked it up, and it looks exactly like a Gimp filter I used just to get an image in a GUI library wrapper project just to have an image to load 20 years ago.

This looks like something I made when I first tried out 3D rendering. In 1999

Man this brings back memories of installing Fedora Core 6 at my internship. I think I jumped to F10 after we did a round of updates. I started distro-hopping after that so I missed a bunch but I really like Fedora 16s wallpaper.

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 33 wallpaper is better

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

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 to it isn't designing dammit :D

Objection.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

Having just looked through them all, they were fine up until the latest 8-9 versions, out of 38 or so.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Distro bashing/slandering! Yeaaaaah! Do Debian next!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

No one can do debian, as apt bricks their install before they can finish it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Disagree. I love F34 and F36 wallpapers. Rest are mediocre imo but not terrible.

Stock gnome wallpapers are all anyone needs

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