    And then put it into an os that sloppily compresses its wallpapers before displaying them

      It’s kinda weird how much of a performance difference the wallpaper 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

        After using Linux for a while all the window animations of windows start to look jarring too

    Ngl, I genuinely find the Windows 11 wallpaper (which is not what this article is about) very beautiful.

    Never knew and that’s how spot on Mr. GMUNK had it, very impressed. Only saw it a gazillion.5 times so I never really had a chance.

      I think the newer wallpaper is artificial.

      This wallpaper isn’t default anymore since a few years back.

          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.

    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 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.
