I recently noticed that the default background for Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster” has a purple star missing and now that i noticed it, i can’t unsee it. The one towards the bottom right is barely visible so that passes.

As OP stated, it’s still there, just barely visible. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Right, didn’t read.
Fork.
Mint FTW
It might be available in Ubuntu Pro, with star support expanded to 10 billion years.
Monster!
Gotta install the last star from snap, I bet.
Can confirm,
sudo apt install firefoxadded a new star
You think that’s annoying, this is what the Ancient Greeks decided was a scorpion in the sky.
I’ve heard that not having access to actual dark skies free of light pollution makes it a lot harder to see/understand how people could see figures in constellations, and that extremely faint light from other stars, nebulas, etc adds to the experience. Allegedly it makes Orion’s belt easier to see. I’ve never had access to a sky dark enough to test it in person, though.
This is somehow a ram.
It’s looks like the profile of one of those rich people dogs.
Psilocybin was likely involved.

Isn’t that how all constellations came about?

Sure, but it’s still just some dudes playing join-the-dots in the sky. None of it means anything.
Edit: So apparently what i first wrote up can be summarized as “Asterisms are more relevant and sensible than constellations”…
original comment
Especially nowadays with light pollution it’s easy to tell which constellations make sense, the top ones in the northern sky IMO being: Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Orion, Cygnus (really just the middle 4 stars), and Ursa Minor but mostly because that’s got Polaris in it and it’s the most important star.
Also fun anecdote: When i was a kid and didn’t know any constellations other than orion, cassiopeia, and ursa major; i independently recognized the middle 4 stars of cygnus and called it the Pilot because it looks like the front view of a jet fighter, so how’s THAT for being a sensible constellation!
That’s way more of a scorpion than some other constellations are their thing
Rotate it 90 degrees to the right
Why? That doesn’t make it look more like a scorpion.
I… see it now

I’m not saying it’s useless. I’m just saying it doesn’t look like a scorpion.
Uh that one is a rare case of constellation actually look like what it’s supposed to be. It’s pretty easy to see the scorpion tail imo. Doesn’t have all the legs obviously but still close enough to consider it as one.
It looks like a hook.
Better?
Yes but now fix the middle right tail intersection that is also starless.
It’s actually really faint, but it’s there.
Upon closer inspection, you are correct
I totally get you bro
Literally unusable. 🤣
This is why I prefer Linux Mint.
Wallpapers?
Wallpapers?
Most Ubuntu forks are about changing the wallpaper and other cosmetics.
No, they are about the DE not being Gnome.

I didn’t mean the official Ubuntu flavors, I meant 3rd party Ubuntu variants. Stuff like https://archiveos.org/ubuntu-satanic/ which is literally just about changing a few graphics.
Debian solves that issue
debian 12 is so nice, been using it recently and i love it, just gotta find the time to convert my servers from ubuntu to debian when i get the chance
This lobster is stellar, not lunar. How do you even tolerate that?
I do not have to suffer with such design flaw. I use Arch with the glitchy mess known as Hyprland.

Your post is mildly infuriating because it’s sofa king shit.

as much as I hate it, I like the little nod to the imperfections of real constellations
