what do you think of people who use linux but use non-linux related stuff as their wallpaper??

like for example,, one time i was browsing through some neofetch screenshots and i found out that a lot of them have anime or furry stuff as their wallpaper or profile picture,, but they use linux. hmm or maybe they even have proprietary videogame images!! i used to think that was bad but now i realize that even if you have proprietary stuff as images like,, furry fanart of some proprietary videogame, it's like just a picture, a jpeg. but still,, younger me would've freaked out by the idea of having proprietary files, but i still enjoy linux. what do you think?? please

  • TIL there's people thinking about stuff like this. Honestly a wallpaper is just some image that you chose to make your desktop nice to look at to me. I think I even used Windows XP wallpapers on Linux for some time.

    • Every time I work with a Mac, Hackintosh, etcetera, the 5K upscale of XP Bliss is my default as a joke (except I think near the end of one school year, where I set the background to something from OS 9).

      It was even my iPhone background for a while, though right now, it’s a random James Webb image.

      Well now I suddenly care.

      Why the hell do you want to watch the world burn?

      ;)

      • I have an AI-generated image that looks very much like Bliss, the prompt was ""Deep Blue sky. Small puffy, bright white clouds. Grassy green hill."

      • If I remember correctly I got them from this collection on archive.org and honestly they are just really nice quality pictures. But probably also a bit of nostalgia. 😄

      • Did you know my profile picture is a Windows Vista background? I didn't until a few months ago.
