    I am the opposite and I absolutely hate it when I have to work on someone’s laptop with cluttered desktop and folders. Mine only has a taskbar at bottom and clock widget at bottom right corner. All temporary files goes to downloads or to organised directories. What’s the point of having a nice wallpaper if you can’t enjoy it.

      You do at least have some shortcuts on your desktop, right?

      Otherwise, why have a desktop?

      You can open a picture if you want to look at it

        Everything from start menu shortcuts. Much cleaner and nicer that way.

        Edit: I am using KDE plasma so not the full screen start menu like in windows but the small box on bottom left with about 15 icons that I regularly use.

        Not OC, but no, that’s what the taskbar is for, I use my iconless desktop as a space to drag windows around and multitask

        That’s what the super key is for, you hit the super key and start typing the name of whatever it is you want and hit enter just like a phone

      I’m the same way. I will tolerate no icons on my desktop. It’s widgets or nothin’.

      Now, my physical desktop, on the other hand…
