IRL Ragebait
Doesn’t have to be, I know plenty of people who use their desktop as their file system.
The best part of multiple desktops is increased file storage limits!
Lmao I gotta try this with a coworker, they are always complaining they have too many files on their desktop (a problem they create themselves)
I got a jew laptop at work recently and the IT guy asked about Desktop icons. I told him I turn them off. He told me about our CFO who apparently keeps every file in Desktop. I can’t imagine.
What’s a jew laptop? Does it wear a yarmulka? 😁
I use arch, oy vey!
They’ve got chutzpah
HP, Hymie Pakardwitz
he paid for entire screen and he’s gonna use entire screen
I think my mom’s desktop has overflown onto this poor fellow’s.
He had them all arranged by penis until web dude came along
Legend
Every coworker I’ve ever had
This reminds me of The Website is Down
It was on my watch later list. Thanks for making me watch it. Awesome!
That was epic. Thank you!
Basically an iPad
People actually use their desktops?
laughs in tilling window manager
Gross. My home PCs have just the recycle bin. My work mac nothing (except the brief moment screenshots get put there because before I move them someone at Apple is a monster)
Yeah, my GNOME desktop on Linux is just a picture. Apps, and files are indexed, you hit the “windows” key, commonly accessed apps are on a popup dock, as you start to type you get an immediate list of matches, whether its apps, filenames or file contents.
Never needed to add shortcuts
I have the same setup on Nobara with kRunner.
Mac has spotlight and it works pretty well. Windows start menu has similar functionality as well.
Windows indexing is garbage: if I type the name of an app in the search it can’t find stuff that has been installed, and sometimes it likes less keystrokes, as in exc will show excel, exce will remove excel as a choice. And file indexing (even though I have the folders added to search indexing) just doesn’t find stuff, its basically a directory crawler. Where on Linux it’s instant
I’m a computer idiot. I know Lemmy is full of techy people who can explain to me in exhaustive (and exhausting…) detail why Gnome is evil or horrible or designed by morons or whatever. It seems to be the most popular position. But I fucking love it. I use Linux for ideological reasons, and because I’m a computer idiot, and it’s safer from viruses, and with an immutable OS I’m less likely to bork my shit. I came from windows, and since the switch around 5 years ago, I’ve never been happier. It feels clean, and fun, and so easy to use. It’s perfect for my touchscreen, when I flip my laptop over and use it as a tablet. It’s fantastic for keyboard controls when I don’t want to fuck with a mouse. The mouse gestures are amazing when I don’t want to fuck with a keyboard. I use Fedora because I love stock* Gnome. Ubuntu was okay, but that basic Gnome experience is just frickin fabulous.
*Okay, not stock. There’s a few extension. But not many!
Gnome gets hate because many Linux users like configurability, and on the user end Gnome is pretty much “here is what you get.”
But on the backend Gnome is configurable (zorin used this to make 4 unique desktop setup preferences)
But Gnome feels fully cohesive and finished to me. Like an appliance GUI.
I hate going back to Windows style start menu, it feels so counter productive
Right click > view> hide desktop icons.
Desktop #15 … of 52.
Dude is crazy organized. Look at that perfect grid.
Eww, windows?
1 of the first things i do after installing linux on a laptop is disabling desktop.
On a tablet, i can understand muscle memory kicking in and launching apps easily but this is incomprehensible.
I love the concept of desktop, it’s just never worked for me, not on a pc, not on a phone. And I’ve been using Windows since version 1.
Hey that looks like my desktop! whenever I get a new laptop I put everything in a folder called “old desktop” on my desktop.
I have a few home.tar.gz files which in turn contain a home.tar.gz and so forth.
Same with how macbooks look because all screenshots are automatically saved to desktop.
I mean, that’s if you don’t hold your Option key with the shortcut which just copies it to your clipboard.
