@postmarketOS i like 'alpen' because it is a reference to alpine :)

@ariadne @postmarketOS alpen is a type of cereal

@noisytoot @postmarketOS yes, but the background is mountains or whatever

@ariadne @noisytoot @postmarketOS "Alpen" is also German for "Alps" which I assume is the origin of the name

@aelin @noisytoot @ariadne @postmarketOS "alpen" also exists in English! It was inherited from Dutch a long time ago, but has fallen out of favor in modern times, with "alpine" replacing it. It is only used as an adjective though, usually referring to animals or features of the Alpine mountain range. It is perfectly correct to say "the alpen snow" instead of "the alpine snow", just a bit old-fashioned.

@ariadne @postmarketOS

So now we know how to game the wallpaper selection, just name your wallpaper "Alpine" 😁

Alpen as it looks likely to have the best contrast with the app icons

@postmarketOS blossom seems the most unreadable with launcher icons/captions in both light and dark mode, alpen looks fine i guess

@postmarketOS Alpen = Alpine = Pine

I was crazy once.

@postmarketOS I think I'd dig Alpen more if the mountains weren't all the same shape.
