Here’s a list of all Debian wallpapers from official releases with download links.
Over the years, as per tradition Debian project has featured a default wallpaper for each major release. Not only Debian, but almost all Linux Distributions provide a default wallpaper that symbolises itself & the release. The default wallpapers often feature the respective distribution logo, with tag lines while maintaining the main theme.
For example, Ubuntu always comes up with stunning wallpapers for each release.
The Debian default wallpapers are chosen based on online competition. The participants submit their entries, and selection happens via online voting. This post is to honour all those submissions over the years and give you a single point to download the high-resolution versions in one place.
The wallpapers are not properly arranged today on the official Debian website. Many wallpapers are hyperlinked to different websites that don’t exist anymore.
So here I put together the list of the default wallpapers collected from various websites and internet archives so that you can enjoy the stunning wallpapers with the classic Debian logo.
