Location of default background (wallpapers)
Location of default background (wallpapers)
Newbie here ... seemed to have lost the folder location of the default Desktop backgrounds. I am looking for the default ones that came with the system. Running MX-18.3 / Linux 4.19.0-1 Kernel.
Re: Location of default background (wallpapers)
It is user/share/backgrounds. You can get to it by right clicking on the desktop and choosing Desktop. In the Folder drop down choose backgrounds.

Re: Location of default background (wallpapers)
I keep my background backed up and sorted on a usb drive. I then copy and paste the entire folder in my home folder and I can add remove them without signing in as root. If your the only account on the computer I suggest this highly because I'll download a bunch occasionally and just highlight them all and cut and paste them in the the home/wallpaper/unsorted folder till I get a change to organize them at a later time.
