Just a few days after the wallpaper competition<\/a>, Ubuntu Artwork team updated the wallpapers package (through proposed repository) for Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, revealing the default wallpapers.<\/p>\n

As previous releases, the new default wallpaper is a purple background with mascot (raccoon this time) in center. Instead of using straight origami lines, the new wallpaper uses curved-crease origami in background which looks great.<\/p>\n
