Chances are you’ve already come across the wallpaper you can see to the right of this paragraph.

I’ve been using it on my own Ubuntu desktop for a while (visible in many recent screenshots), and it’s proven highly popular with users on the Ubuntu Forums too (I see in screenshots posted there – good taste, folks).

The background is called ‘Ubuntu Aurora’, created by DeviantArt user ~notmiown.

It is is breathtakingly epic to gawk on the daily. It combines a beautiful space-scape with the brand new Ubuntu logo turning supernova – with Ubuntu’s popularity exploding of late, rather fitting I think!

If you like it (and I know you do) don’t resist joining the cool club. You can hit the link below to download a high-quality copy from the artists’ DeviantArt to use on your own desktop — even if you’re not running Ubuntu! ;)

LINK NO LONGER VALID :(
