Btw, with nitrogen you can change your wallpaper randomly aswell!
Nitrogen has a -random option which chooses a random wallpaper in a directory. You can make a shell script which does this in an endless while loop and choose the time it changes with the sleep command.
I.e. put
-while true; do
nitrogen -set-scaled -random /path/to/directory
sleep (1800) #every half hour
done &-
into your .xinitrc and run startx next time!

I'm in the process of transitioning to Linux from Win 10, and have been trying out different Linux distros. What I have noticed is that Linux distros are like Guild Wars 2, it's all about playing dress up! :) Functionally, they are all pretty much the same containing the same major apps, so there isn't much they can do to differentiate one distro from the rest.

I don't have a wallpaper on my Raspberry Pi or phone, lol. I played around with a translucent terminal in Windows, so I switched to a wallpaper there, but I'm thinking of switching back to featureless dark brown (black sometimes obscures whether the computer is on at all on a second screen).

I used Variety for years - added a gesture to delete or favourite the background on display - so I have a ridiculous number of 'favourites'.... so we make a 'Nordic', a 'Dark', and a couple of other folders - so whatever profile/theme we're running, it has some matching wallpapers.

In my view you can't beat some of the outer space wallpapers. Two of my favourites are the 'Horse's Head Nebula' in Q4OS and the 'Galaxy' background in Antix. The latter seems to have been dropped from the selection list in Antix 19, which is a pity!

Pacman tip: if you're installing a lot of packages at once (like you did with the wallpapers) or a package group (for example, base-devel) and you can't remember which ones are installed already, use the --needed flag to skip what you already have.

I find my OWN photos and do a SLIDESHOW.. but I do use some of the ones that come with the system.. :) THAT is one reason I distro hopped-- I wanted tiling- and the ability to make a background slideshow... the rest I can deal with.. :)

Thanks! I was just recently trying to find a decent set of wallpapers to use with this very obvious wallpaper randomiser:
find /usr/share/backgrounds -type f - shuf -n 1 - xargs xwallpaper --zoom

If you want cool space wallpapers, buy Spaceengine on Steam and fly around in the universe until you find something interesting.
That's how I got my current wallpaper.
