Wallpaper is the first piece of artwork that catches the attention of an average computer user. For an operating system, it is crucial to have an attractive wallpaper if oriented towards beginners.

As a distribution focusing on beginners and advanced users, Fedora ships a decent default wallpaper with each release. It also provides an additional set of wallpapers to choose from.
