Some nice features:

Ubuntu, derivatives and distros with snapd. It is available in the Ubuntu Software Center via snap package. Just search for it. If you want to install it via terminal, just type:

Caveats: Snap package fully supports GNOME Shell, Unity, Budgie, Cinnamon, Pantheon and MATE desktop environments. If you are using KDE Plasma 5 or XFCE, then installation via official PPA is recommended.

Ubuntu and derivatives via PPA. There is an official PPA repository for installing WallpaperDownloader in Ubuntu (16.04 and greater) and derivatives natively. This is the preferred method for enabling all the features of the application and it is recommended for KDE Plasma 5 and XFCE users:
