Asking because I only recently realized that I’ve been running KDE default wallpapers for over a year without noticing. I’m also debating whether to switch to something more “fun” and aligned to my hobbies
As far as I’m aware, popular OSes/DEs tend to have a healthy selection of high-quality default wallpapers, and some OSes/DEs even have wallpaper “shops”. So I’d like to ask what you all use! If you are using a custom one, love to hear where/why you got it.
If you want to share your custom wallpaper feel free to
Edit: thank you all! I didn’t realize how many of you use solid colors… as well as the number of people who don’t think too much about wallpapers since you don’t look at it often (frankly the same for me). For the ones who shared: thanks a ton. Also fun story: there was a recurring joke on r/Unixporn about anime wallpapers but I guess it is not remotely as popular outside of the ricing community


I also run KDE. Living room PC I’m using:
https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper
https://godotshaders.com/shader/balatro-background-shader/
https://www.shadertoy.com/view/XXtBRr
I really like the Balatro shader. This plugin is awesome eye candy and stable, highly recommend.
Desktop PC has three monitors, two are just static Images from Wallhaven. Primary is using another KDE plugin that reuses Wallpaper Engine themes I’m subscribed to via Steam back when I used Windows… somewhat. Don’t recommend because it’s prone to crashing when a theme is incompatible and you have to edit a config file to remove the broken paper entry to get your taskbar responsive again. I trial and errored until I just had a handful of my old favourites that work.
