I discovered how to do this.

  1. Create /etc/dconf/profile/user
user-db:user
system-db:site
  1. Create site DB directory /etc/dconf/db/site.d/00-site
[x/dm/slick-greeter]
background='/usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntucinnamon/noble/Suamgol_Village_by_Joshua_Park.jpg'

[org/cinnamon/desktop/background]
picture-uri='file:///usr/share/backgrounds/ubuntucinnamon/noble/Suamgol_Village_by_Joshua_Park.jpg'

This can be a huge number of different configs, see dconf-editor

  1. Create a locks directory/file, any keys listed here cannot be changed by the user /etc/dconf/db/site.d/locks/00-site
org/cinnamon/desktop/background/picture-uri
  1. Run dconf-update
