So, I've got this strange issue where the wallpaper does not persist, unless it's installed by my distribution.

How did I try to change my wallpaper?

right click desktop -> configure desktop and wallpaper -> wallpaper -> select a wallpaper -> apply.

The wallpaper gets applied, alright. However, if it's not installed by the package manager of the system, it does not persist through reboots or relogins.

Does anyone know what might be at issue and where I might look to fix this issue?

The distribution I'm using is Solus Linux, and I tried on their forums and the reply has basically been "reinstall" (I have done that often enough with Windows, and I don't want the nightmare back).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Weird, I can't reproduce this on my distribution, the wallpapers are in my home folder, Desktop session saved on exit.
