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.
You think that's annoying, this is what the Ancient Greeks decided was a scorpion in the sky.
That's way more of a scorpion than some other constellations are their thing

I'm not saying it's useless. I'm just saying it doesn't look like a scorpion.
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.
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.
“Close enough, fuck it.” — National motto of Ancient Greece
It looks like a hook.
Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.
Can confirm,
sudo apt install firefoxadded a new star
There is a star there. It's just so far away the light hasn't reached the wallpaper yet.
It's moving away from us so fast it blended in with the red background.
Literally unusable. 🤣
If only there was some way to change it...
dual boot into a better distro
Fork.
Mint FTW
I do not have to suffer with such design flaw. I use Arch with the glitchy mess known as Hyprland.
It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.
Debian solves that issue
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
As OP stated, it’s still there, just barely visible. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Right, didn't read.
as much as I hate it, I like the little nod to the imperfections of real constellations
This lobster is stellar, not lunar. How do you even tolerate that?
I totally get you bro
Constellations in real life
Constellations aren't even real lmao
Yes, they are.
There aren't literal lines in space of course, but the concept is absolutely real.
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.
Monster!
