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!"
- Ow, ow. My head
- I have to google image search that. Pretty accurate.
  Duck duck go only showed person wearing tuxedo.
  
  Same results for me.. Are we using duckduckgo wrong? I want to make it understand me
  
  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.

Most make me feel like im underwater,
- This looks like something I made when I first tried out 3D rendering. In 1999
  
  For the time, I'd say that's pretty sick!
- 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.

Is there a shittywallpaper community? I would love this.
- Make one!
  
  Hello, fellow Debian user.
  From, a Debian user.

This one from 2010 has got to be my favourite:
Reminds me of being on the Millenium Falcon
- I remember this one. Good taste IMHO

For me the one from Fedora 7 was the most beautiful of them all.
- Yeah Fedora used to have the best wallpapers and then they changed for the worst...
  
  Whats a good and bad example
- Oh the nostalgia ♥️

Fedora 34 had the best wallpapers
- Indeed it is, Thanks for sharing
- Fedora 33 wallpaper is better

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.
- Should probably check this out :
  https://github.com/efskap/XBoomer
  
  LOL this is great, the grassy windows XP wallpaper is in my rotation!

endevouros wallpaper supremecy!
- Best distro wallpapers hands down!
- honestly I don't like the theming endeavourOS gives it'd be better if they shipped the DE as is.

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

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

TOTALLY, THANK YOU

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

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

Rare Ubuntu W

Then actually submit or vote for a better one

Common Mint W

gentoo users: you guys have wallpapers?

*Debian
- 100%
  New Debian user here, pretty happy with the experience overall, but the default wallpapers...damn...
  Mint ain't much better lol.

I love the fedora 34 one though

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

Bing wallpapers ftw
- Is that the one that changes by itself? I tried it but it puts an ugly "wallpapers by bing" or something on the bottom right corner.
  
  Never had that on Variety, you can also try out Damask, it looks like a refreshed Variety
  
  The one I use, the gnome extension, does not put any watermark on the image

Stock gnome wallpapers are all anyone needs

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

OpenSUSE maintainers: hold my beer!
- This one is actually pretty!
  
  I like it
  
  Yeah I love it
  
  I'm sorry, but you are either blind or crazy.
- I actually like this one!
- I could see this being perceived very differently based on the monitor on which it's displayed
  
  It was presumably designed for old CRT monitors with a 4:3 aspect ratio. Either way, it's not 2005 any more.
- Reminds me of the IBM Mechanical Wallpaper.

This is true, but it's also pretty much the only "shortcoming" of the OS
- The only is a bit of a far cry, still, I adore Fedora and use it daily

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

The Fedora 7 one is really good.

Saturation be like: 📉

Having just looked through them all, they were fine up until the latest 8-9 versions, out of almost 40.

Distro bashing/slandering! Yeaaaaah! Do Debian next!

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