It's funny that some dude apparently getting all serious about minimalism must still have an image plastered across his desktop.

A "wallpaper" isn't essential to using a computer, folks.

Changing your wallpaper to some solid color isn’t minimalism.

In the context of the article, why not?

You implied that somebody “all serious” about minimalism should only use solid color wallpapers. Anybody else apparently doesn’t have the street cred or something.

He already uses a very toned down wallpaper (mentions that, too) and I honestly don’t get why in that context your snide comment was necessary.
