I absolutely do it the other way. Nothing is on my desktop except for the trash bin. There is a shortcut to the file explorer and browser pinned to the task bar. And that's it.
There is nothing at all on my desktop except for a text document created by my girlfriend saying that she loves me that she snuck on there when I wasn’t looking.
Bro you didn’t have to come here just to brag…
Mine used the sticky note app makes me smile every time I open my laptop.
i don't even have icons enabled on my desktop. Now I don't have to feel stressed about cleaning it up
Yeah, this is the way. Disable icons and recycle bin too.
Ah, a person of culture! Though I admit everything that I regularly use is pinned to the taskbar.
Taskbar is all you need. Also, the windows/meta button, then just typing (or if you're in KDE, literally just typing) the thing I want to do and hitting enter. Fuck desktop icons.
You're ready for GNOME.
What's gnome?
Assuming you're not joking: Gnome Desktop Environment.
Thanks. I wasn't joking. But it doesn't look like something for me. It looks like Apples iOS, and I hate everything apple related.
Windows + E for file explorer as well, when you can't be bothered with the mouse. I wish you were able to pin specific folders to the taskbar, as opposed to just general explorer. I want to save one click.
I use my keyboard as little as possible, so shortcut keys aren't for me. I use a laptop, and am usually lying on the couch, too far to reach the keyboard. I have a few shortcuts mapped to my mouse. You'd be surprised how much I can surf the web with just the mouse. And sometimes even with my left hand.
