Where do you get your Wallpapers...

Unread post by lrcaballero » Sun Jun 21, 2015 6:56 pm

Checking out unixporn site http://www.reddit.com/r/unixporn I realized that I don't think I have seen a post here at the grill where we all share were we grab our wallpapers from, so why not start one here at the grill:

For the Tiling WM lovers: http://squidfingers.com/patterns (thanks to Mr_asdf & crshd)

For anything else: http://subtlepatterns.com/
https://unsplash.com/
http://www.reddit.com/r/wallpapers
http://alpha.wallhaven.cc/

Cheers & enjoy!

Great thread, thanks lrc!

Usually, I would have said wallbase.cc, but they are gone. So, it's http://hdwallpapersfactory.com/ and http://defwalls.com/ and of course the epic http://simpledesktops.com/

I usually look around on deviantart. Other than that, http://thepaperwall.com/ and there's also wallbase's successor http://alpha.wallhaven.cc/.

unsplash is fantastic, thank you lrcaballero! I usually dig my walls out of 4chan's wallpaper-general board (/wg/) and sometimes the high-def board, /hr/.

flickr, i like mostly original images, flickr is great website for photografer which expose their works in this site.
Most of my wallpaper come from this page. I also use (DA) DeviantART.

Masashi Wakui recently it has become the favorite of my desktop.

fiftyfootshadows have fine artistic images, we can use for wallpaper as well. Used to use this bicycle for long time, i am a bicycle fan and this shot was too cool for my desktop.
