When did Right Click -> Set as Wallpaper -> Desktop involve writing code?
Yes, older versions of Linux may have had that setting buried in a config file somewhere, which required editing in a text editor. And that sort of UI was shit, is shit and will always be shit. But, if we’re going to bring up old versions of an OS, let’s talk about Windows Me.
… You can just change it from the bottom right tray? I run KDE Neon now, but used to run kubuntu. That’s just a standard feature of KDE, and I think gnome too. I didn’t even know there was a way to do it via terminal.
To change my lock screen background I still have to go into like /usr/sddm (or some such dir, I don’t remember which specifically and it’s not booted rn).
For some reason the setting in FedoraKDE for “lock screen background” will change the “lock screen background,” but only after I’ve logged in and then re-locked, on boot it still showed the Fedora default. But I wanted it on boot, too, as it’s a single user laptop anyway. To do that you have to place the file in iirc sddm’s config dir.
At least with linux though I can design my own Plymouth theme and change my splash screen, try that on windows (idk if you can or not but I’m gonna assume no since I’ve never seen anyone do it.)

That’s the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.
To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows… you just need to update to the last version.
No you don’t. OP just chose a bad example.
It’s not been that long since I last used Linux, but when I did, I had to type a command in the terminal to change screen brightness (kubuntu)
