If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.

Fuck I hate self-righteous "downvotes aren't for things you dislike" shit like this. Pair it with the hypocritical assumption people don't understand something you admit youhaven't taken the time understand yourself and you're nearing peak oblivious internet poster.

How the hell are you supposed to say you don't like a post/comment? Can we please stop treating up/down votes like a mandatory tip? So someone posted something, if it's shit it gets downvotes if it's not it doesn't. You don't automatically deserve an upvote just because you posyed something. Fuck right off with that.

As an aside, the desktop paradigm has been solid for decades for a reason. Clickbait "we should change things for the sake of change" shit like this absolutely should be downvoted as the meaningless algorithm baiting drivel it is.

I'm talking about people downvoting from all - if you're seeing content from some niche or geographic community because you're viewing all then downvoting something you're not interested in is a dick move.
