  That looks interesting. I think Ubuntu ought to follow along the theme of abstract wallpapers.

Erm, we already do...all of our default wallpapers have been abstract ;)


While I can appreciate their efforts I must say that I like the karmic wallpaper better than this. In fact, there is a kde wallpaper made by Nuno Pinhiero which is in my opinion, an example of a similar style as the fedora wallpaper, but better.

Fedora certainly has an active art group and I'm sure the wallpaper for Fedora 12 will look as good as Fedora 11. However there is a lot to be said in what Ubuntu has to deliver.

IMO when Karmic ships folks will be generally pleased with the changes and the quality of the presentation. As I alluded to in an earlier post with community themes added to the mix the total artwork package is very good.

In addition to Fedora I also like and respect the efforts of the openSUSE project. It looks like 11.2 will have new professional artwork.
