A Nobara Linux Desktop running KDE Plasma 6 with system stats using a vaporwave color scheme on the left, a drop-down terminal named Yakuake showing neofetch, a completely borderless browser window showing a Deezer web app on the center bottom, and weather and audio widgets on the right. The desktop background is animated with a wallpaper engine plugin, showing a cyberpunk city with the silhouettes of a few people rummaging through a giant heap of tech scraps, with one figure standing on top and looking into the bright city lights. Light fog is moving over the scene while it rains.

I love your background picture: Robots ask for banning captchas. They can not get in ๐Ÿคฃ. I say: Replace cloudflare captcha guard with anubis btw.

Yeah, I've got a Metalcore phase currently, but it's getting late, so i'm switching to Diary of Dreams to cool down ๐Ÿค˜

Wait so your wallpaper is animated? Cool! Is it a gif, video or webp?

Neither, it's a scene for a program called Wallpaper Engine, which is available on Steam for Windows (where i used it before). The Program itself can still be used to download Wallpapers (which is a simple subscription in the Steam Workshop), but the background service which show the wallpapers doesn't work - but there are KDE Plugins that are able to do that job. They are not feature complete yet, and a few wallpapers might crash your desktop, which must be fixed by editing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc by removing the offending entry:

[Containments][1][Wallpaper][com.github.catsout.wallpaperEngineKde][General]
<some stuff>
WallpaperSource[$e]=<remove the path here>
<stuff>

But most wallpapers work fine already!

This one can be found here and the previous one is here

Many are also interactive, reacting to audio or mouse movement.
