Do you use a system-default or a custom wallpaper for your personal computer? If custom, what kind of wallpaper & why? (lemmy.world)

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 use Wallpaper Engine for animated and interactive wallpapers. They're fucking awesome!

Best thing about the year 2020 onwards is Wallpaper Engine
