bluvisnu Meanwhile I'm the complete opposite, I don't necessarily desire a bunch of abstract, texture, or pattern wallpapers. Guess it's just a difference in taste 🙂

    bluvisnu You're missing the point. We don't need contests because we add in wallpapers when people submit them to us and we add them to the artwork package. In fact, I can't remember turning down a user submission.

      alright, i just shared my thoughts, great work.

      So Unsplash is the place where you use any picture for free?

        abdulocracy Thanks! This was taken in Tullamore, County Offaly, Ireland when my wife and I visited in October 2018.
        This was part of my Solus pilgrimage, since this bridge was featured in the Solus ISO a couple of years ago.
        We had the high privilege of meeting the photographer and his wife while we were there. Great people.

          Solarmass I use wallhaven too, but I think the licensing would get too messy if you were to take a wallpaper for a distro. There's a lot of wallpapers there that have circulated on various dumps on imgur etc.

            Yes Solarmass. The first one is perfect.

            JoshStrobl Regardless, we have an artwork repository that people can submit artwork to.

            Sorry for always nitpicking things, but...

            Any chance some of those files could be renamed? AerialDesert.jpg is a great name. IMG_9710.png really is not.

                Sarno The filenames are irrelevant as they're not displayed to user in the wallpaper selectors.

                I think the current selection of wallpapers is more than enough. I would imagine 90-95% of users would change their wallpaper shortly after installing anyway. The selection that is provided is purely there to be the default/small selection.

                My /usr/share/backgrounds folder is already nearly 100MB. It's already a bit big IMHO. I do think some of those may have come from Plasma though.

                  The only time my wallpaper changes is with a new Solus version, when there is a new default one 🙂
