I know this isn't a very hacker newsy comment, but wanted to highlight how amazing your comparison is :D
Personally, my backgrounds are things important to me, I easily forget about, and can't easily action.
For example, one background is of my family, including my grandma who doesn't have any kind of social media or digital communication device at all. I'm in another country, so actions available to contact her are small. Reminders of her are infrequent - chats with my family are usually not about her. But I don't want to forget her, so into my slideshow rotation it goes.
Another background is a theme park in Denmark featuring a 65m free fall tower into a huge safety net. International travel is hard now, and I know no one wants to do this theme park attraction with me. Odds are stacked against me to remember this thing, so into the slideshow.
All the above pictures are low res and crap. But they're important to me. I do love beautiful high res backgrounds, but I've now decided they bring me less joy than the above.
Instead of fitting all your windows within your monitor's boundaries, PaperWM sets all windows to take full height and gives you an infinite horizontal axis to arrange them on. I'm thoroughly enjoying it and vastly prefer it to tiling and floating windows
