    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.

    Duck duck go only showed person wearing tuxedo.

    Same results for me.. Are we using duckduckgo wrong? I want to make it understand me

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    I end up always using the !g shortcut and using DDG at this point is googling with extra steps.

    No wonder google has a monopoly on search engines.

    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.

    This one from 2010 has got to be my favourite:

    Reminds me of being on the Millenium Falcon

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    I remember this one. Good taste IMHO

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

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Fedora 34 had the best wallpapers

    [–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

    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 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.

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

    Then actually submit or vote for a better one

    Rare Ubuntu W

    [–] olutukko 6 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    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.

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

    [–] hemko 4 points 1 year ago

    Objection.

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

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

    I love the fedora 34 one though

    [–] papafoss 3 points 1 year ago

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

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

    The Fedora 7 one is really good.

    [–] dditty 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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