There is zero reason changing the login screen background on gnome should be so difficult. (old.reddit.com)

I just spent an hour trying to set a standard 2560x1440 OEM Lenovo ThinkPad wallpaper as my GDM login image.

  • Tried GDM settings

  • Tried scripts (URL and compilation errors)

  • Tried manually editing /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-background using org/gnome/desktop/background and screensaver schemas.

All it did was change my user desktop to a solid fallback color and completely ignored the login greeter image. Why does GNOME make customizing a login background an absolute nightmare?
