I know this isnt related to the post, but does anyone remember the artist or website that had a bunch of cool textures and colorful tiled wallpaper for the early days of linux? think mid-90s.

I've been scratching my head for years and my searches have never found it, but there has to be some white beards here that can recall it.

I remember there were some really cool options available, I believe in a square format for better tiling. If anyone can remember and post a link or archive I would very much appreciate it.

If it's what I'm thinking of, it was the "Propaganda" wallpapers. I remember using them in Red Hat 6 in the late 90s!

Seems to match what's in the desktop-backgrounds RPM on this ISO (CD 1)
