    I agree with most of this, but honestly take it a step further. On my Windows machine I don’t put anything on my desktop at all, and turn desktop icons off entirely. It’s literally the worst possible place to put things that you frequently need because it’s covered up by anything you’re doing. You need at least one interaction to get there regardless, so just use the start menu.

      The desktop is a good place to put stuff that I use rarely and may forget that I have or forget the name of.

      For example, the games I own on Epic that I like are on my desktop, because I’d forget I had them if I had to open Epic to see them.
