My private PC: a shell script for altering xmodmap more to my liking. Nothing else.
Work PC: endless excel files, text files with notes, a bunch of schematics in pdf format, new folder, new folder (1), aoeu.txt, misc shortcuts, a folder full of stuff I probably don’t need anymore but shouldn’t delete, a couple of work related pictures, a myriad ofbhalf-finished reports, a 4gig dd dump that I honestly don’t remember making, only that it was important for later for… something. Sometimes i take everything and stick it into a subfolder with a date as the name, in an attempt at cleaning up the desktop while keeping things that might still be important. I have five of these folders on the desktop. I ought to make a sixth.
Don’t be like my friend and unzip large archives to the desktop.
He couldn’t use his desktop.
My desktop is reserved for screenshots. Archives get unzipped or unrared in a folder in Downloads.
My desktop is reserved for absolutely nothing. It’s empty.
This is the way
I have to take endless screenshots for work and it’s a convenient place to put them.
