About the Ubuntu Kylin Wallpapers
Ubuntu Kylin takes a different approach to wallpapers than other Ubuntu flavours. Rather than separating wallpapers by release or running annual design contests, the team packages the entire collection together and updates it with each new version. The result is one large archive that has grown with the project over the years.
The collection reflects Ubuntu Kylin’s identity as a Linux distribution built specifically for Chinese users, developed in partnership with the China Software and Integrated Circuit Promotions Center (CSIP) and the National University of Defense Technology. Most of the photography draws from Chinese landscapes – mountains shrouded in mist, river valleys, dense forests, temples, and seasonal scenes in bamboo groves. Traditional ink-wash paintings (水墨画) appear throughout, giving the collection a visual character that is distinct from any other Ubuntu flavor. Abstract and pattern-based designs make up the remainder.
The 26.04 update to the package – version 26.04, uploaded in March 2026 – added new wallpapers for the Resolute Raccoon release alongside the full existing archive. Because the Ubuntu Kylin team packages everything together rather than keeping release-specific subsets separate, the single download below gives you the complete updated collection.
🏠
Chinese Landscape Photography
The largest part of the collection. Mountain scenery, river valleys, bamboo forests, misty highland plains, and seasonal photography across different regions. Cooler tones and natural palettes throughout.
🎨
Traditional Ink-Wash Art
Ink-wash paintings (水墨画) rendered in the classical Chinese brushwork style – mountains, birds, branches, and water scenes in monochrome and muted colour. A visual style unique to this collection in the Ubuntu family.
🌟
Abstract and Pattern Artwork
Abstract digital compositions and decorative pattern designs that complement the UKUI desktop. A good alternative for users who prefer a clean, non-photographic background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the default wallpaper in Ubuntu Kylin 26.04?
Ubuntu Kylin 26.04 ships with a default wallpaper from the ubuntukylin-wallpapers package as part of the UKUI 4.22 desktop. The default is set during the package install and reflects the Chinese-themed visual identity of the distribution. The full collection is available in UKUI desktop settings from the first login – right-click the desktop, select Desktop Settings, and browse the Wallpaper tab to see and apply all included images.
How many wallpapers are in the Ubuntu Kylin wallpaper collection?
The Ubuntu Kylin wallpaper package contains over 300 wallpapers spanning all releases through 26.04 LTS. Unlike most other Ubuntu flavours, Ubuntu Kylin does not separate its wallpapers by release – the entire collection is packaged together and updated with each new version. This means the full download below gives you everything in one ZIP.
What art styles are in the Ubuntu Kylin 26.04 wallpapers?
The collection covers three main styles. Chinese landscape photography dominates – mountains, rivers, bamboo forests, and seasonal scenes with cooler natural tones throughout. Traditional ink-wash paintings (水墨画) in the classical Chinese brushwork style appear alongside the photography, using monochrome and muted colour. Abstract and decorative pattern designs make up the remainder and work well as a clean neutral background on the UKUI desktop.
Do the Ubuntu Kylin wallpapers work on other Linux distributions or Windows?
Yes. The wallpapers are standard JPG and PNG image files and work on any desktop operating system including other Linux distributions, Windows, and macOS. There is nothing Ubuntu Kylin-specific about the file format – download the ZIP, extract it, and set any image as your wallpaper through your normal system settings.
How do I set a wallpaper on Ubuntu Kylin 26.04?
Right-click anywhere on an empty area of the UKUI desktop and select Desktop Settings. Go to the Wallpaper tab, click Add to browse to your downloaded file, select it, and click Apply. You can also open UKUI Control Center, go to Desktop and Personalization, and select Background for the same options plus fill mode control. Both paths take under a minute.
Can I change the login screen wallpaper on Ubuntu Kylin 26.04?
Ubuntu Kylin 26.04 uses LightDM with the ukui-greeter as the display manager. The login screen wallpaper is separate from your desktop wallpaper. You can change it through UKUI Control Center under Login Screen settings. For most users on a standard Ubuntu Kylin installation, changing the login screen wallpaper is not needed – the default fits the desktop theme.
What format are the Ubuntu Kylin 26.04 wallpapers?
The collection uses a mix of JPG and PNG files. Unlike KDE-based Ubuntu flavours, Ubuntu Kylin uses standard single-file images rather than the multi-resolution KDE format. Most landscape photographs are JPG files sized for HD to 4K screens. Some ink-wash paintings and abstract designs use PNG where the format better preserves fine detail or uses transparency. No special software is needed to use them – just download, extract, and apply through your desktop settings.
