I checked in KDE, since I'm generally confused as to why it's not more popular now: in the wallpaper settings you choose `wallpaper type: plain color` and it gives you a color picker to set it.
It also shows you the screen you set it for, and a boolean to set it for all screens at once.
- greenavocado 1y agoThose of us that use KDE don't necessarily broadcast it
- LastMuel 1y agoWhy? KDE is awesome.
- tmtvl 1y agoNo, KDE is KDE. Awesome is awesome. You can use awesome as the window manager for KDE (I have in the past), but you can do that with GNOME, Xfce, or LXQt as well.
- greenavocado 1y agoToo busy building
- artursapek 1y agoYet you’re here
- skyyler 1y agoToo busy to discuss your preferences. Not busy enough to not discuss your being too busy to discuss your preferences on internet forums. I'm not trying to be mean here, I'm just fascinated by what people will consider to be a waste of time.
- greenavocado 1y agoEvangelizing KDE is not something I care about
- skyyler 1y agoHm. It seems like you care about it at least a little, otherwise why would this thread exist? It's okay to care about things.
- Suppafly 1y ago>Evangelizing KDE is not something I care about This, sometimes it's enough for things to just work as you expect so you can do your actual work. I don't really understand why so many people are unpaid part time evangelizers.
- shashashank 1y agoI'm a recent convert from Gnome. Mostly cause Gnome seemed to have too many mysterious crashes—waking from sleep, switching between windows when video was playing—so much so that it was just easier to switch to something modern (as opposed to sway/i3) and not have to learn/rewrite keybindings.

- cogman10 1y agoI think it's historic reasons. KDE used to be the "bloated" desktop way back when (I know, pretty silly and laughable now given the current state of things). That cemented Gnome/Mate into a lot of major distros as the primary DME. Ubuntu being the most famous. The QT licensing situation is also a bit of a bizarre quagmire. There are certainly people that don't like KDE for more ideological reasons. Personally, none of this bothers me and it's what I use for my personal computer. KDE is just so close to exactly how I'm used to interacting with computers anyways growing up through the Win95 era. It is so close to the Windows experience you want to have.
- queenkjuul 1y agoKDE still seems pretty bloated
- skyyler 1y agoOne person's "bloat" is another person's "batteries included".
- gymbeaux 1y agoKDE Wallet though?
- tremon 1y agoWhat about it?
- woolion 1y agoFunny, I used to think it was bloat but then I got to use it to store passwords for remote servers accessed with ssh, and now it's a nice 'batteries included' for me, as GP mentioned. It has become so because it is nicely and seamlessly integrated.
- const_cast 1y agoGnome has the same thing, and it's equally as annoying. Also you can just disable it if you really don't want it.
