Where does Linux Mint keep the files for default desktop wallpapers?

Under Cinnamon Settings > Backgrounds, there are a lot of images I would like to move to my windows partition to use as wallpapers. Where exactly are these files located?


Solution 1:

I suppose your Linux Mint comes with GNOME and normally, it should be under /usr/share/backgrounds .

Solution 2:

Mint change background in each release, could get background of previous release.

Command - install background:

  • sudo apt-get install mint-backgrounds-<release_name>, install a specific release,
  • sudo apt-get install mint-backgrounds-*, all release,
