Maybe because we Linux users never look at our desktop? ๐ Dunno but would be nice to have
It's probably a combination of this and technical difficulties stemming from there being seemingly 20.000 Desktop Environments/Window Managers
Have you never heard of compiz? The Linux 3D window manager with burning windows.
That's a windows manager though. I was using that 20 years ago :D
That's so interesting to me, because as someone thinking about switching over to Linux after playing around with it a bit, one of my main motivations is the ability to customize the desktop like crazy. Personally I like the minimal modern look, but I like that you can make it anything you want.
Used OS or how much you see the desktop doesn't matter. This is customization that feels good.
I honestly see my wallpaper for about 0.01% of my screentime. Having a process hogging CPU to animate something I don't see if quite useless to me.
