But for real, there is something about a good wallpaper, at least for me, the wallpaper being the first thing I set on a new linux install.
I fully believe that a solid default wallpaper can help with desktop manager adoption (i.e. kde, gnome, xfce4), at least for the bohemians types like me!
- dylan604 3y ago> the wallpaper being the first thing I set on a new linux install For me, that would be the last time I ever see it. I have so many windows open providing me quick access to whatever I need without flipping spaces or whatever, that I just never see the desktop. It's just one of those things that over time of using computers, I just don't care about it any more. I don't begrudge anyone that does, but it is just one of those funny things one realizes how time changes one's outlook
- Affric 3y agoDo you have a recommendation for a good place to source wallpapers? With the photography it’s one of the things Apple get so right about UX.
- archargelod 3y ago> the wallpaper being the first thing I set on a new linux install That's something I also always do. Even though I use i3 with 100% opaque windows (transparency is ugly and distracting IMO). I could only see wallpaper after startup and maybe 2-3 times during the day if I'm switching from my usual workflow. But for some reason I always set the background. Perhaps an old habit from Windows XP days (Autumn is the best XP wallpaper, fight me).
