Asking because I only recently realized that I’ve been running KDE default wallpapers for over a year without noticing. I’m also debating whether to switch to something more “fun” and aligned to my hobbies
As far as I’m aware, popular OSes/DEs tend to have a healthy selection of high-quality default wallpapers, and some OSes/DEs even have wallpaper “shops”. So I’d like to ask what you all use! If you are using a custom one, love to hear where/why you got it.
If you want to share your custom wallpaper feel free to


Anyone know if there’s something easy to use like Wallpaper Engine for Linux? Specifically on Bazzite
Wallpaper engine with plugins
That hasn’t worked on my desktop in the past, except to crash KDE unfortunately.
I can try again though I guess…
Try this: https://github.com/y4my4my4m/kde-shader-wallpaper
You can get it directly through KDE: Desktop Settings -> “Get New Plugins…” button.
It’s more limited since it’s only shaders, but there’s a lot of shaders out there.
This is bundled into the plugin for example. You can use their shadertoy link for a proper preview, but you need a browser with WebGL enabled:

There’s 100 built in and you can add new ones, but it’s not painless for now:
