Re: Wallpapers included by default in Fedora Workstation

I can really get behind this, I think it would be better to leave this as an optional package download. And just announce that we have such a package of legacy/retired wallpapers.

What about also including a few of the non-supplimental wallpapers from
previous releases? I personally really like F24 and F21, and the F17
fireworks seem almost iconic. Plus, FC5 (although the 3d-button look on
the logo seems dated.)

IMHO, these wallpapers are tied to the branding of each individual release, so

I would be worried about including these as the standard wallpapers on a default

install. The supplemental wallpapers don't really have the same connection to

an individual release, and since we have a large back catalog of approved, properly

licenced images, this seemed like a good place to base our search on.

One thing to investigate here, however, is should we look into better ways of exposing

the wallpapers packaged in Fedora to the user? Currently, these wallpapers are not shown

in Software, and the only way to get them is to know the correct package name / fedora release

name to install, and use DNF. They aren't really "software", so not sure if they fit in the Software

app, although we do have Fonts in there, but the experience provided there for searching

for fonts can feel a bit clunky at times too.

cheers,
