A Nobara Linux Desktop running KDE Plasma 6 with system stats using a vaporwave color scheme on the left, a drop-down terminal named Yakuake showing neofetch, a completely borderless browser window showing a Deezer web app on the center bottom, and weather and audio widgets on the right. The desktop background is animated with a wallpaper engine plugin, showing a cyberpunk city with the silhouettes of a few people rummaging through a giant heap of tech scraps, with one figure standing on top and looking into the bright city lights. Light fog is moving over the scene while it rains.
Update: thanks to @eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.com i am now aware that Yakuake has downloadable skins, so heres the updated version!
I love your background picture: Robots ask for banning captchas. They can not get in 🤣. I say: Replace cloudflare captcha guard with anubis btw.
Wait so your wallpaper is animated? Cool! Is it a gif, video or webp?
Neither, it’s a scene for a program called Wallpaper Engine, which is available on Steam for Windows (where i used it before). The Program itself can still be used to download Wallpapers (which is a simple subscription in the Steam Workshop), but the background service which show the wallpapers doesn’t work - but there are KDE Plugins that are able to do that job. They are not feature complete yet, and a few wallpapers might crash your desktop, which must be fixed by editing ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc by removing the offending entry:
[Containments][1][Wallpaper][com.github.catsout.wallpaperEngineKde][General] <some stuff> WallpaperSource[$e]=<remove the path here> <stuff>
But most wallpapers work fine already!
This one can be found here and the previous one is here
Many are also interactive, reacting to audio or mouse movement.
oh, they are interactive? Nice! I wondered if it is just a static video.
Many react to your mouse cursor, like glowing wisps dodging the cursor or the eyes of a cat following it; some of the more lewd give “xray”-vision around the cursor if that’s your thing, and others can be used for media control. Those features can all be disabled if unwanted. i haven’t dug into that stuff too deeply.
Babymetal!
Yeah, I’ve got a Metalcore phase currently, but it’s getting late, so i’m switching to Diary of Dreams to cool down 🤘
