Wallpaper Weekly

Every week, share a wallpaper and the story behind it. Made it yourself? Even better.

1. Post your wallpaper in this thread. Any day of the week works.
2. Add a few lines:
   • Source: your own work, or where it came from (credit the artist or site)
   • Tool: what you made or edited it with (GIMP, Krita, darktable, Inkscape, FerrumPix…), if anything
   • The idea: the feeling or story behind it
3. Full resolution, please. Up to 10 MB; 4K fits fine.

Monthly pick: each month, the most-liked wallpaper is added to our Our Community > Member Downloads collection, as long as it’s your own work or fully credits the original creator or source.

Keep it Safe For Work, per our community guidelines.

Where it started

Edit: Here are some of my more recent wallpapers.

…retro lol

Old 14-year-old Alienware 14:

Raspberry Pi running Unifi Controller

Windows 10 and 11 Devices

With i3 transparency + darkreader.org + Redshift it really feels more comfortable on my eyes.
Everything is dark mode always. (thinkpad)

That’s my current deskop configuration, one image for primary monitor at 3440x1440px, the other for secondary monitor at 1080p.

Those 2 are the default for Windows Virtual machine (so much fantasy eh )

These are great! Thanks for reviving this thread, I honestly forgot about it. I’ll have to see if I have any new ones to share also.

Edit: Here’s a dump of my current walls/folder. I get my wallpapers from https://wallhaven.cc/ :

These are my wallpapers for my 3 monitors

This is for my main monitor.

This is for my second monitor.

This one is for my entertainment monitor.

I customize my lock screen background with this one.

@hydn

The Trekky / Star Wars fan in me jumps to this one.

[ricky89 (Riccardo)]

I liked the first pic you posted, the one similar to Windows xp wallpapers, with green hills and clouds. Ahm.. stoled

[hydn (Hayden James)]

@ricky89

I have another Windows wallpaper based on this one. I will log in to Win 11 and grab it. I have not been on Windows since August 17th, the end of my Battlefield 6 beta test weekend. lol (not to hijack the thread; that’s another topic, ha)

My latest wallpaper

my tux & beastie wallpaper

is now my windows background. It just seemed fitting

[hydn (Hayden James)]

@ricky89 You might like this one. I use it on my Win 11 OS (dual boot). Not only because it’s dual boot with Linux but also because I run WSL heavily on it.

And also have tiling WM setup, so it’s very Linuxy’ for Windows.

[ricky89 (Riccardo)]

@hydn
Ahaha, for my tested setup I prefer using Windows 10 LTSC over a virtual machine (Vmware) and another virtual machine with Debian.

I refuse to use Windows 11 and WSL, sorry. They are not compatible with my workflow.

(Sorry for going off topic )

I use a bunch of NASA photos for my desktops, and they rotate every 30 minutes. I hesitate to post them all (there’s 40). The NASA pics are from the Apollo and Shuttle projects.

A long time ago, I used this Porsche pic.

I was changing my Ubuntu wallpaper this morning and came accross this for the Arch guys.

Linux, terminal, cheat sheet, simple background, text, numbers, digital art,...
