This default wallpaper.
I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can’t unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.

Draconic_NEO, That’s not great, at least it’s not an LTS release though so it might not be an issue for too long once they come out with the distro upgrade.
Also I’m thankful the immune to this issue being on Pop which has very nice default wallpapers, though I don’t actually use the default wallpapers.
loudWaterEnjoyer, Debian solves that issue
SharpMaxwell, debian 12 is so nice, been using it recently and i love it, just gotta find the time to convert my servers from ubuntu to debian when i get the chance
loudWaterEnjoyer,
torafugu, I do not have to suffer with such design flaw. I use Arch with the glitchy mess known as Hyprland.
mypasswordis1234,
dukk, As OP stated, it’s still there, just barely visible. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
mypasswordis1234, Right, didn’t read.
sundrei, Fork.
pastermil, Mint FTW
cloudy1999, Monster!
walderan, It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.
Bananablob, This lobster is stellar, not lunar. How do you even tolerate that?
Anti_Weeb_Penguin, This is why I prefer Linux Mint.
Rootiest, Wallpapers?
woelkchen, Wallpapers?
Most Ubuntu forks are about changing the wallpaper and other cosmetics.
lud, No, they are about the DE not being Gnome.

I didn’t mean the official Ubuntu flavors, I meant 3rd party Ubuntu variants. Stuff like archiveos.org/ubuntu-satanic/ which is literally just about changing a few graphics.
Cosmonaut_Collin, There is a star there. It’s just so far away the light hasn’t reached the wallpaper yet.
Mugmoor, It’s moving away from us so fast it blended in with the red background.
Caboose12000, as much as I hate it, I like the little nod to the imperfections of real constellations
FlyingSquid, You think that’s annoying, this is what the Ancient Greeks decided was a scorpion in the sky.

Octopus1348, It looks like a hook.

This is somehow a ram.
driving_crooner, It’s looks like the profile of one of those rich people dogs.
Manifish_Destiny, Psilocybin was likely involved.

burningmatches, Isn’t that how all constellations came about?
skullgiver, (edited ) deleted_by_author
burningmatches, Sure, but it’s still just some dudes playing join-the-dots in the sky. None of it means anything.
Swedneck, (edited ) Edit: So apparently what i first wrote up can be summarized as “Asterisms are more relevant and sensible than constellations”…
original commentEspecially nowadays with light pollution it’s easy to tell which constellations make sense, the top ones in the northern sky IMO being: Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Orion, Cygnus (really just the middle 4 stars), and Ursa Minor but mostly because that’s got Polaris in it and it’s the most important star. Also fun anecdote: When i was a kid and didn’t know any constellations other than orion, cassiopeia, and ursa major; i independently recognized the middle 4 stars of cygnus and called it the Pilot because it looks like the front view of a jet fighter, so how’s THAT for being a sensible constellation!
br3d, Rotate it 90 degrees to the right
FlyingSquid, Why? That doesn’t make it look more like a scorpion.
XEAL, I… see it now

FlyingSquid, I’m not saying it’s useless. I’m just saying it doesn’t look like a scorpion.
RogueBanana, Uh that one is a rare case of constellation actually look like what it’s supposed to be. It’s pretty easy to see the scorpion tail imo. Doesn’t have all the legs obviously but still close enough to consider it as one.
bionicjoey, That’s way more of a scorpion than some other constellations are their thing
Catoblepas, I’ve heard that not having access to actual dark skies free of light pollution makes it a lot harder to see/understand how people could see figures in constellations, and that extremely faint light from other stars, nebulas, etc adds to the experience. Allegedly it makes Orion’s belt easier to see. I’ve never had access to a sky dark enough to test it in person, though.
Rreeddeerr, Constellations in real life
nxfsi, Constellations aren’t even real lmao
lud, Yes, they are.
There aren’t literal lines in space of course, but the concept is absolutely real.
Swedneck, Also like, people tend to draw roughly the same lines, at least for asterisms.
I can’t imagine many people, regardless of culture, would look at the northern cross or the big dipper and not draw almost exactly the same lines as everyone else.
mp3,
Nouveau_Burnswick, Yes but now fix the middle right tail intersection that is also starless.
mp3, It’s actually really faint, but it’s there.
Nouveau_Burnswick, Upon closer inspection, you are correct
