All my homies hate windows
Last year i upgraded my parents’ computers to mint and they were blown away and could use them immediately, my dad actually got angry that he had been thinking about switching to linux for so long without ever trying it out.
He couldn’t believe how clean and fast everything was, updates, startup, emails, everything, he looked like a kid on Christmas.
And that was on a decade-plus old laptop that he had been running and hating Windows on ever since he bought it.
I don’t think I’ve used desktop icons for over 10 years
Same. I actually get grossed out by a desktop with anything on it.
desktop icons get in the way of my anime wallpapers
exactly. i’ve got this beautiful screen, why would I want to clutter it with random icons.
I use my desktop as a temp folder and just keep all of the icons hidden. Out of sight, out of mind 😊
I might not be using GNOME any more but there is one design philosophy it pushed that stuck with me and I employ it now on all other DEs - fuck desktop icons! They lead to nothing but clutter, much better to have all of your folders neatly organised inside of your /home than plastered all across your desktop space.
Plot twist: this was the same day
sway user: the fuck do you need a desktop icon for?
For those that stick to Windows, best I could find was Winlaunch. According to it, it simulates de MacOS app drawer, but I didn’t use MacOS enough to be able to tell, and I found it when looking for Android-like app drawers instead.
