Thank God there is that recent folder you can access in the "Home" thing, whatever that means. 9 times out of 10 it's in my Documents folder. Who the fuck wants a Documents folder? I put documents in a file structure according to where they belong. Downloads is the pit of the forgotten.

You can make subdirectories under "Documents"

Yeah but isn't my desktop the place I want to keep things? For example, do I want the documents about my 2022 taxes kept apart from my folder on my 2022 taxes? No. I want all related files in one place. Not in my Documents.

You can keep all the documents relating to your 2022 taxes in a subdirectory somewhere inside the Documents. For example, mine are located in Documents/Finances/Taxes/2022 . Why would one want them floating around on a cluttered desktop?

Also desktop shortcuts Just delete the shortcut that leads from finances/taxes/2022 and change it to open your 2023 so you still have 2022 just incase

A directory on my desktop. Why would I want all my stuff in a directory that isn't visually navigable?

[-] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

isn’t visually navigable

Do you know about Windows Explorer?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

You mean Nemo, right?

[-] neptune@dmv.social 0 points 9 months ago

Yes.

So what's a desktop for, wallpaper?

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 months ago

Shortcuts to apps and folders, not a place to store important stuff.

[-] 2xsaiko@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

Does the wallpaper make it more visually navigable? Because that’s certainly the only big difference in visuals between the desktop folder view and the view in Explorer. At least if you’ve got that set to icon view.

I use it for temporarily storing files I’m actively working with. Anything else, especially long term storage I put in other directories.

Please tell me this is trolling lol

So you want your documents not in your documents folder?

Just put a shortcut on your desktop if you need it that much.
