And then put it into an os that sloppily compresses its wallpapers before displaying them
Hahaha that’s exactly what came to mind. Glad I’m not the only one!
The compression artifacts always led me to believe it was computer generated.
It’s kinda weird how much of a difference performance makes. I once installed Linux mint on an old laptop and the perf of managing windows and some other things was terrible until I changed the wallpaper to a plain color.
Meanwhile windows will still lag switching between desktops if they have different wallpapers, even on high end computers
Literally why would it do that
And it’s still worse than a picture of a hill in Sonoma
That’s okay, if you want a quick nostalgia trip, just open one of the many control panels. Use the one according to the Windows era you want.
At least it isn’t a big blue mitochondria
I’ve used Ubuntu for a while a couple of years ago, and honestly, for daily usage and some light editing worked quite well. The gaming was an issue back then, but since i’ve brought a Steam Deck, i’ve stopped bothering with playing games on windows anyway. Right now I’m looking around for others Linux disto. I’ve just installed Fedora on a 10 year old laptop and for now it works like a charm.
Who asked huh ?
I use arch btw
Did they do it for the light version too?
I think the newer wallpaper is artificial.
This wallpaper isn’t default anymore since a few years back.
That wasn’t the question.
Iirc the “light mode” wallpaper they are referring to is the newer one.
When windows 10 came out it only had this one and it is no longer default.
Kinda weird to think this will be the last version of Windows I use.
its very ‘close encounters’. i like it better than i like the operating system.
