While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.

[-] sinokon@feddit.de 39 points 6 months ago

The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black

I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I'll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven't opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.

Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 11 points 6 months ago

The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

The lesser of problems, I'd wager. Managed to bypass Vista... and 8. shudders

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 4 points 6 months ago

Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

You're sure it's not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.

[-] gregorum@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

The task bar on 7 Looked Way better

Bonus point if you replace Chrome with Mozilla!

[-] BenchpressMuyDebil@szmer.info 30 points 6 months ago

Insallah my brother in the Firefox jihad

[-] sebsch@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 6 months ago

Just change the icon to the chrome ones.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 48 points 6 months ago

firefox, and get an adblocker on it

[-] BottleOfAlkahest@lemmy.world 36 points 6 months ago

It looks like he has chrome pinned to his task bar in the bottom left.

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

You cannot make enough shortcuts for the elderly.

There is also a second desktop icon in the upper left, in the 3rd column.

[-] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 18 points 6 months ago

I'd nearly forgotten all about Vista.

Cool picture. But Chrome? Why?

[-] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

This meme is old as fuck, he has GTA SA and windows 7

[-] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

GTA SA is dope even today :D

It's like a "water this way" sign in the middle of a desert. The better solution is to get Librewolf and replace the icon with a Chrome one.

Right click desktop, create new, folder: Junk

Drag drop everything but that chrome icon into Junk.

If you really wanted to have a good time, you could screen-shot everything as is and make that the desktop, then put all the real shortcuts into a folder on the desktop anywhere and watch the fun ensue

Eta: for extra entertainment, don't forget to hide the Taskbar

[-] GreedyYardHippos@kbin.social 5 points 6 months ago

The shortcut was at the tip of the penis

Instead of fixing the symptom, maybe you could address the underlying problem of all that clutter on the desktop. ….or pin it somewhere it won’t be encroached by new files

[-] Nelots@lemm.ee 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

It's pinned to the taskbar. If my own father is anything to go by, trying to clean up their desktop is a futile and temporary effort.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

There are at least twice as many icons s on his desktop as on mine!

[-] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 months ago

It is pinned to the taskbar

Also the first icon in column 4

[-] Master@lemm.ee 3 points 6 months ago

All of those files look very important and need to stay where they are...

Most of the time my desktop is covered, so I use folders on the toolbar

[-] MelastSB@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 months ago

What in the world

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 6 months ago

That's pretty funny! Thanks for making me smile.

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

Legit makes my day to make someone smile :)

[-] ManniSturgis@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 months ago

Didn't think about icons being on a grid, eh? Whoever made this had to turn it off to place the Chrome icon there. Amateur move

[-] volvoxvsmarla@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Can you share the background?

[-] ickplant@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Here - you should be able to download the full res by clicking "Download the original image"
