Kde gives me the option to keep my desktop folder, or any other folder, or files linked to that specific activity as my Desktop.

These days, replace "Documents" and "Downloads" with "the root folder of OneDrive".

Yeah, that is so fucking annoying. I never save anything there, yet it absolutely always suggests that. Fucking microsoft.

This one guy at work has 3 layers of desktop icons. LAYERS. I don't know how he manages.

"Sir, please. I'm begging you. Use a folder. Just one single folder."

"THOG NO LIKE COMPUTER! THOG SAVE TO DESKTOP!!!"

This is why you people aren't allowed access to printers anymore.

On Android it's similar... On some apps(all?) you can't save to the downloads folder. Like WTF? Downloads is where temp stuff goes you damn green buffoon!

Id just like to add that whoever started sending game files to the hidden part of documents should be shot. How hard is it to just make a Games folder and a Games Save folder?

Steam games need to store save files in the same library location as the game, using a sub folder that maps to the steam account name. Stop filling up the app data folder for the operating system account that is running steam. My C drive is full, go away.

Also, Windows doesn't allow writing to files to in Program folders... So let's put everything that needs RAM into that directory! But not the save files, those are hidden 7 layes deep in MyAss/hidden/hidden/almost there/hidden/docs/maybe save files.

All IT support immediately revoked.

The top of your desk is exactly where you want the document that you will need in a minute to go. Its what bosses demanded since before modern computing

If that is not the intended usecase, then what is?

In linux i am saving stuff in a related project folder which may aswell be that projects own desktop.

OneDrive documents --> PC documents --> desktop
why must I press so many buttons to get it where I want :/

If the "shopping trolley test" determines good versus evil, then where you save your files determines lawful vs chaotic.

Lawful: specific files in specific places

Neutral: everything goes in downloads

Chaotic: everything goes on desktop
