    All I can think to this kind of thing is: if you’re spending so much time staring at the wallpaper, what’s the rest of your computer for?

    I personally try to leave as little of the wallpaper visible as possible, but I guess I’m the weird one.

      I can’t stand application clutter on my second monitor. So the only thing I keep open is a tiny window for discord but half the screen stays uncovered. Keeping app windows small reduces distraction for me if there’s some sort of pop up. I’m not staring at it, but it’s always in my peripheral vision.

      I never said I spent a particularly long time “staring” at my wallpaper.

      I also don’t spend a long time looking at the wallpaper on my phone, but I still like to decide what it looks like and customize/personalize it.

      I see my computer desktop at boot up. Before and after starting games, usually. I have two monitors, and the side one is not always filled. For that matter, my main monitor is 4k but I don’t ever have one single thing full screen, so usually have windows staggered or tiled and bits of desktop are often poking through.
