Thread 106326840

Why do people use desktop icons? They're so tacky looking, also you can add folders to the Start menu now.

You have no soul.

I used to think the same way before I had a job.

I like your wallpaper. Mind posting it?

>>106326840 (OP)
Totally agree
The desktop is for downloading stuff

>why do you keep folders, files and tools with which you're currently working on your DESKTOP?
Do i need to explain you what a paradigm is?

i got more than 100 icons on my desktop
i'd post pic but some have sensitive filenames

>>106326846
I just like things organized.
>>106326852
Do you at least nest files inside folders?
>>106326884
Sure.

Well, I don't like having a messy desk irl either. In school I'd store stuff in the tray under my desk until I needed it.

You can have something ON your desktop and still keep it organised, the point is having ready at hand the stuff you're working on.

Makes sense because that's your school's not yours.

I used them because it was the most ergonomic way to launch different Firefox profiles.

nta but 2 minutes in Photoshop...
I'll see if I can get rid of the banding too but that'll be another post.

i think i have organized my things in an old 10 iot ltsc setup themed to be as closely to xp well enough

>>106326840 (OP)
yeah, I don't understand either, I see my desktop for about 5 seconds a day when I boot the computer, I don't even have a wallpaper because I never fucking see it so why would it matter.
if you want to start a software just hit the win/super/ key on your keyboard and tap the first letters of your software then enter, much easier, faster and less harmfull for your wrist than using the shitty and unreliable mouse.

>>106326840 (OP)
No idea. But there's nothing worse than a retarded wallpaper with so much detail you can't even tell the icons sitting on top.

>>106327989
i can tell you use arch or a variation of it just by reading this

WIndows has been able to use the taskbar as a launcher (Meta + 1/2/3/4... to launch whatever application you have pinned there) for 17 years.

>>106328152
fuck i forgot about that
i just assumed the dude (or you) uses some form of tiling window manager

>>106328167
Windows can do that too
