Do you neatly organize your files or do you just put your stuff wherever the fuck?

>>106030963 (OP)
Neatly organized so easier for me to find. Also no stuff on desktop

>>106030963 (OP)
For my whole life I devised a hyper-specific completely idiosyncratic organizational system that worked well for me, then over the past 18 months I just let it collapse into an abject mess – i think i'm sad or something

>>106030963 (OP)
programs on the left, folders on the right. downloads and pictures in their respective folders. i dont save music or videos because reasons :/

>>106030963 (OP)
I disabled my desktop and store everything in downloads folder to be sorted later.

>>106030963 (OP)
neatly organized but I’m looking for this one wojack meme that I could have sworn I saved but it’s not in my wojacks folder

And program icons are in start menu or on the taskbar. No need for desktop at all.

$ ls ~
bin/ # Where I put my scripts
dev/ # Things I'm developing, not devices
edu/ # School stuff
media/ # xdg dirs not polluting my home
opt/ # Like bin/ but for things not mine
tmp/ # Duh
work/ # Work stuff

I used to just throw them whatever out of lazyness growing up but one day when I was like 19, I decided to sit down and actually organize ALL my files correctly because it was bothering me. Process took me like 3 days to finish but I had everything perfectly organized and labeled. From then on I've just built upon that since.

I keep them incrementally organized, as in if i'm working on something it's going to be all scattered on my desktop and when i'm done i put everything in a proper directory tree finely archived.

I just save everything to my downloads folder and when it gets too full I just make a new folder and drag everything into it

>>106030963 (OP)
On my personal pc my desktop is empty minus the recycle bin because all I do is gaming on it
On my work laptop I organize stuff on my desktop with folders

>>106030963 (OP)
Organized. Even my desktop icons are organized based on groupings so I can get to them faster.

Organized. I've probably lost months of life on it

>>106031851
You would have lost months searching for what you wanted instead. All organization is you either waste time putting it in the right place when putting it away, or waste time searching for it when you need it. The worst is when you waste time putting it in the right place, but live with someone who doesn't, so you have to waste time searching for it later too.

The only anons in this thread understanding the desktop paradigm.

Who the fuck still uses their desktop to open applications and folders

>>106032154
>who the fuck keeps their stuff on top of their desk where they sit in to do work with said stuff?

>>106030963 (OP)
Organized, autistically so. I'm kind of ashamed at the sheer amount of time I've spent making it perfect. Every now and then the way its organized bothers me and I'll reorganize it in a completely different way and it bugs the fuck out of me until its done.

>>106030963 (OP)
Organized.

I do the same with hard drives. When I fill it up I get a new one that's twice as large. I copy the entirety of the old one into a directory called "c:\old_disk" on the new. I then keep the old hard drive in a closet as backup.
Been doing this for decades.
Luckily I'm not hoarding movies/porn/etc, so it takes a while to run out of space.
Somewhere in "c:\old_disk\old_disk\old_disk\..." there is an old Windows 98 install.

Self-written. Will not release.

I like to orgasmize on my machine, yeah.

i've found that just putting stuff on the desktop is unironically the best way

>>106030963 (OP)
I used to have chaos but then I started organizing, I miss my desktop being cluttered with shit and so I'm back to chaos.

clean desktops are for redditors and zoomers

>>106030963 (OP)
not a problem with linoox
all the mess is neatly contained in "downloads" and "documents"

>>106030963 (OP)
I used to just put them wherever, but after switching to Loonix, I had to get my shit together because gnome doesn't let you just dump shit on the desktop.

Anything that isn't an image or a document or music or videos goes into downloads.
