Manager: "So, we need a set of Wallpapers for that Linux we have."
Worker: "Alright, so i suggest that we add some vistas from germany in there and some nature photography."
Manager: "Classic and beautiful, but i feel like we need a little twist to that."
Worker: "Alright, so was if we were to run an algorithm that turns random parts of the wallpaper into polygonal art?"
Manager: "How random exactly?"
Worker: "Totally! The only rule is that half of the wallpaper has to have that look but there's no rhyme or reason to which parts will be turned into polygons."
Manager: "I love it. Can we also super impose our logo on the wallpaper so that people can always rest assured that the Linux they booted is still the Linux they installed and that it's our Linux?"
Lmao I looked it up, and it looks exactly like a Gimp filter I used just to get an image in a GUI library wrapper project just to have an image to load 20 years ago.
Man this brings back memories of installing Fedora Core 6 at my internship. I think I jumped to F10 after we did a round of updates. I started distro-hopping after that so I missed a bunch but I really like Fedora 16s wallpaper.
Honestly tho, it's amazing how bad a lot of distros look out of the box. Often even the preferred DE doesn't look quite right and all the alternative ones are just awful ports.
Slapping your logo onto something and matching the color scheme isn't designing dammit :D
