Default Mint OS wallpaper on rotation.
Nice! Mine's the default Mint OS wallpaper not on rotation!
I like a minimalist look, so on my home PC it's just a solid colour. My work computer is this:
Recently on this community game developer posted their game where.hurn.dev, in which player must guess a location of where the photo from wikimedia was taken. There are actually many cool nature photos, but i use this one right now:
Rotates whenever I restart or wake from sleep but here's today's:
from the flaming lips new year’s eve show
Randomly selected at startup from a list of photos that I associate with times of my life that were very important to me and cool art I found on the internet.
My laptop still has a black background.
My wallpaper has been the same screenshot for years now.
I was playing Lego Worlds one time, digging through a world, when I decided to spam those rainbow bombs everywhere. I got a decent shot of a colorful flash reflecting off the pieces that made up the tunnel I was blowing up, and it's been my wallpaper ever since.
Off-center skull and cross bones on a black cloth like background. The skull is basically 50% on screen and there's the end of one bone 🦴 on the screen next to it.
On my Mac, I just use whatever the default static wallpaper is. Or I pick one of theirs. I always have widgets covering my wallpaper and I don't know how to easily see what it is (short of → Settings → Wallpaper), but I think it's like a forest/hills. On my MacBook it's a lake.
On my phone, I have a Star Trek theme. LCARS (the OS on Next Generation) lock screen, and one of the ships (I think it's Discovery, I never really look that closely at it) warping up toward the top with the trails down between the icons.
I mostly don't care what the wallpaper is because I never look at it, but I'm too proud to just have it black (nothing there). I know that's an option on Windows (no wallpaper, and there's a setting for the desktop colour), but I'm not sure about Mac or iOS.
I almost envy people who have "cool" wallpapers (my wife has a bunch) but I mostly can't be arsed. Like... I wouldn't mind having digital frames with rotating wallpapers or fan art or whatever. But my desktop? It's a workspace and I have work (or "work") covering it all the time.
you've managed to include "Mac" 3 times into a comment about wallpapers
PC has been coopted by Microsoft and gamers to mean an x86-64 box, and it kind of applied to Intel Macs since they could run Windows and could have graphics cards (specifically the Mac Pro which had PCI-E slots and was really just a traditional PC that happened to be macOS certified and shipped with that OS.
So yes, it's a specific kind of PC. It's like saying a truck is a car. Yes, technically, if you wanna split that hair, but it's not like people calling it a truck are wrong. And maybe they are proud of what they have, but they're also just trying to be accurate and not disingenuous.
By saying it's a Mac, I avoid people suggesting I run tools only available on Windows. However, I attract haters. I'd rather be concise and informative than well liked. I don't care that you or the next guy doesn't like Macs, but yes, I'm going to call it what it is, because while it's also a PC, it's different enough and I'd like to avoid the chain of conversation that comes with "just use X app" and then I have to say "it doesn't run on my platform" and then we're back to here with the haters. So I just cut out a step.
