sudo dnf install nitrogen

2 - Open nitrogen and set wallpaper

This is really straightforward so no tutorial for this

3 - Let’s make a backup of our original i3 WM config

cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/i3/config.ori

4 - Edit i3 WM config

I gonna use NVIM to edit the config, you can use whatever editor you want

We gonna add this code to set wallpaper everytime i3 WM starts
