What is the LDWP Collective?

The LDWP Collective, fully known as Linux Distro Wallpaper Collective, is a self-maintained, growing collection of Built-in wallpapers seen across different Linux Distributions, where all* the images are extracted from their original sources - Completely unedited from how they came clean with the OS. All of these are extracted from an unmodified, fresh install of their respective system, running via Gnome Boxes, which allows me to do all of this without touching my own Fedora installation or going through the slow process of Dual-Booting. It is maintained solely by me, so uploads will be slow and gradual as time goes on.

Who am I, and what do I use myself?

I'm MrFedorian/WRC9/Phantomtek, though here I prefer MrFedorian. (add me on polytoria plssss)

I (was) a long time Windows user, first starting with 7 around 2015-16, and then the last one I used being 11. I loved 10 for what it was and used it for a while, but microsoft had to ruin that too. While I can't remember exact dates, I know for a fact I first switched to Linux around February of 2026, first starting off by using PikaOS after dailying Windows 11 for 2 years and 4 months approximately. It is a Mutable distribution. And that's where the problems came for me. At first it was beautifully stable, minus the fact it wouldn't load NVIDIA Drivers until login, which made it so plymouth essentially wouldn't function properly. But beside that it was fine. But over time I started experiencing things where the NVIDIA Persistence Daemon wouldn't load, and this happened a couple of times over a bit of time, and I did a lot of Sudo which kind of fixed it, but then it came back again. At some point it became a big issue for me, so I ended up switching to where I am now - Bazzite. Ever since I switched, It's been essentially flawless from a usage and stability (especially with drivers) perspective, and problems have been very, very minimal. Infact, I haven't had to open Konsole to troubleshoot once, from memory. Atomic really is a beautiful thing. Below, you will see my desktop and fastfetch as of posting this today (07/05/2026).
