    One thing I don’t get with making you desktop or setup anime girl themed. Doesn’t anyone visit you? Relatives? Landlord? Or anyone really. And what’s the point, to get an erection while doing a PowerPoint presentation?

      Deep down you know the answer

      And what’s the point

      Simping, setting unrealistic transitioning goals, often both

      That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.

      Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.

        As someone with sexy art in the wallpaper rotation of all my devices…

        It’s just nice to look at?

        Sexual beauty can be appreciated in the same way as any other kind of beaty. And doing so doesn’t actually require being turned on, at least not in my case.

        Even when it happens, enjoying art and looking at porn are different things. With porn, arousal is the only point. With something artistic, arousal is just one sliver of the full spectrum of human experience a piece might provoke.

        People make custom PC builds to look cool for no other reason than that it looks cool. People hike to mountaintops just because the view is incredible. Architechts endeavor to make buildings both pleasant to look at, and be in.

        The sexy art isn’t pornographic to me. All I do, really, is enjoy looking at it for a moment as I go about using my devices. There is nothing perfomative about it. I could not care less what someone else thinks looking over my shoulder at my screen.

      I mean, I’d personally rather see an anime girl themed desktop than those weird statues rich people sometimes have in places like on their coffee table that are stuff like a woman in the boob + butt out pose with no limbs or head. That shit is just creepy looking. I know it’s supposed to be reminiscent of broken Greek and Roman statues, but why do they always have to be posed and objectified like porn stars? At least with the anime girl, I know that I’m talking to an otaku rather than Hannibal Lecter.

      My desktop background has been the same shade of dark blue for the past roughly quarter century.

      At first, it was because I didn’t want anything making visual recognition of stuff slower, when I was using a stacking windowing environment. Now I use a tiling windowing system and rarely see the desktop.

      On my Android phone, for some inane reason, there’s no option to just use a fixed color background, so I’ve never bothered changing it from whatever the vendor shipped, don’t care enough to make a custom one-color image. I’d probably use black on the Android devices I have with OLED screens on general principle, but again, it doesn’t spend much time being visible.

      All that being said, if you’re looking at screenshots of people ricing out their desktop on a community devoted to that, the whole point is to give them an interesting thematic look. They’re gonna have a background.

      If you took a screenshot of my desktop, it’d be one blue rectangle. No persistently-visible taskbar. The vast majority of time, if there’s a window up, I have only a single, fullscreen window. That’s not really interesting to look at, and I doubt that anyone doing that is going to put it on a “rice your desktop” community, in the same sort of way that nobody is going to go to a “rice your car” community and post images of a vanilla Camry.

        Uhhh…

        Literally just use the same one that’s on your pc? Just KDEconnect that file over (or find any online pic of a solid color wallpaper, whatever you choose of course), and click:

        settings>wallpaper and style>change wallpaper>my photos>nav to your file>set wallpaper

        (This is why all linux help is CLI, damn GUI nav trees lmao.) But yeah why not that? Works on my machine.

          If someone is just using a solid color as as a PC wallpaper, there is likely not a “file” to transfer. When using a solid color in the wallpaper settings, desktop environments provide a color picker instead of a file picker.

      Are you an adult or a bitch ass punk? Do you care what people think, they are mostly focused on themselves. Why do you feel the need to conform to preconceived society rules at all? You will be dead, nobody will care. You are alive now enjoy yourself and the things you like. Don’t hurt others.
