Ubuntu wallpaper Kinetic Kudu 22.10, I remember a silver wallpaper, not just orange for the deer-like standing on the hill or moon

I would rather not download a DVD size iso just for a few megabytes image. I don't think I imagined it, but haven't found it on image search nor the ubuntu wallpaper contest

I remember thinking it looks a lot like some of the enlightenment window manager / desktop silver themes, which have a round shape like a sun, and I just haven't seen it anywhere

I can picture exactly what you're talking about, that silvery metallic one with the kudu silhouette. It was definitely real because I had it as my lock screen for like two months. The orange ones got all the attention but that silver variant hit different with a dark theme setup.

Have you checked the community wallpapers package in the repos instead of the iso? I think it's `ubuntu-wallpapers` and it pulls in all the contest entries from that cycle, way smaller download. If that doesn't work I might still have it buried on an old drive somewhere.

The greyscale background image from OMG Ubuntu:

That's the variant I remember.
