So i've got to the point where my desktop looks almost as crowded as the one from the pic.
But everything in it seems useful and is easy to access, my desktop is just a folder i barely see it as a desktop.
what do ? (but i don't have the time to install gentoo right now, maybe next time)
At least it's not to the point where the icons pukes on my second monitor.
Other urls found in this thread:
just organize them you lazy fuck
Are you retarded? You start grouping icons into folders. You add two clicks to the opening of documents. I say this while also looking down on you for having icons on your desktop.
CLEAN THIS UP NOW YOU PIECE OF TRASH
God you make me puke, don't you EVER post on this website again, you got that?
i have 192 icons, half of them are already folders. Maybe i could organize a little and reduce the number of icons, but what when my desktop is full of folder icons ?
Then i could group folders into other folders, but it never ends, my folders already have plenty of sub-folders it's insane.
okay so the pic isn't yours so at least you aren't retarded
pdfs/actual files of any kind you aren't working on right now belong in either a documents folder of the fucking trash, especially ones you obviously don't look at like FGGT2335
same thing with music samples, put it in a sample folder, music folder, or the trash
I shouldn't even need to tell you that non-porn and non-backlog images belong anywhere but your desktop
next, internet shortcuts do not fucking belong on your desktop
they can be
>in a folder named "gay porn sites"
>in a well organied chromium bookmark bar
>in a database or excel chart if you actually need to regularly look at all those garbage links
tools you don't open literally every time you turn on your computer belong pinned in the start menu
either get a games folder, a games manager like the steam jew, or at least group them together like a normal person
seriously there should be only games in the games section of your desktop
scripts/code you are working on right this goddamn minute can stay, but everything else belongs in a development folder, in a subfolder called unfinished shit folder 14 if you want
folders do not ever belong on desktops
you can have LINKS to folders if you need them, but make sure your shit is organized first, because hierarchy autism is something everyone an this board should be good at, and once you stop putting them on your fucking desktop, nature will take over
>mfw my old co-worker would run out of desktop space

Yes i don't have internet shortcut, my bookmarks folders are another story desu
For music it's ok too, i only have a playlist shortcut.
But yeah... i almost have a hundred folders on my desktop, and binary to games that aren't on steam or just source, and pdfs from articles or books, and txt, some jpg. Some of it i use, the rest i want to read or use in a near future and i know if i move those things i'll probably never use them.
But nothing is really related to work(except maybe the reading material), i have a subst for work where it looks really clean with nothing else.
And there's always something on top of my desktop, my browser, a program, etc.
ok OP clean that trash up
Here is one of my 2 desktops for ref
When are you going to come out of the closet about your love of apple products?
no need to stay in the closet I am battery life and proud for my edc laptop
13 Inch Retina Macbook Pro with default desktop and taskbar config
Don't want the people sitting behind me in class to know I am a fucking weeb.
I can't do that !
Also you have ~23 icons on your taskbar, i have 42. (nothing redundant, the obvious and a bunch of emulators and ide and image related software, games...)
Think of your computer desktop as an actual desktop, there's things you need readily but they're still cluttering your desktop, that's what folders are for.
I don't know what to tell you m8.
What OS are you running? Is the original picture your desktop?
You know you don't have to have immediate access to everything it isn't a big deal to have to do a simple search for a program or file.
No it's not my picture. I'm on windows and the search indexer is a mess when he's running through everything so i deactivated it. But maybe the taskbar could use some cleanup but she's not full yet so it's alright.
You never saw my actual desktop, it's 2,5m long and half of it is full of stuff. It's cleaner than the virtual one because i actually need to write stuff and have space to work.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude.
The only thing you should have on your desktop is what you use everyday, and projects you are actively working on. For everything else you pull up your file manager.
Just dump everything on Documents, like you would dump everything on the big drawer.
Ctrl+a Ctrl+x Ctrl+Shift+n shit Ctrl+Enter Ctrl+v
And sim sa la bim you're done
>ctrl+shift+n
Holy shit how did I not know about this
Kekd
Ctrl+a
>select all
Ctrl+x
>cut
Ctrl+Shift+n
>make new folder
>it deselects them
shit Ctrl+Enter
>opens folder
Ctrl+v
>paste nothing
good job
How does deselecting something un-cut it?
>I'm on windows and the search indexer is a mess when he's running through everything so i deactivated it.
Nigger reactivate that fucking shit so you can actually find your shit. No wonder you're so paranoid about losing your shit on some random place on your hard drive.
>Also you have ~23 icons on your taskbar, i have 42. (nothing redundant, the obvious and a bunch of emulators and ide and image related software, games...)
Why, nigger? You know you won't need to use that shit every day. Just fucking get that shit off your taskbar and desktop and hide it away. Then, when you need to use something, just search for it, because you'll have reactivated the search indexer like a fucking non-idiot.
Try it, you tell me.
How horrifying
You are retarded.
You're retarded and don't know how the Windows explorer works.
I have. Now you try it, and you tell me.
do neckbeards not need to know what day of the month it is any more?
Do normalfags not know how to hover the cursor over something?
You shouldn't need it on the taskbar. Do you have shit memory?
Apparently I am retarded, Can't cut the recycling bin.
Still doesn't work.
Switch to gnome and don't enable desktop icons. Problem solved.
I don't see the recycle bin on OP's desktop.
Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not on the desktop. When you put more icons than it can handle, it just overflows.
bro listen to this guy - youtu.be
>my desktop looks almost as crowded as the one from the pic
The pic isn't his desktop senpai. At least not right now.
I doubt it would just hide the recycle bin because there's too many icons. But then again, I've never reached that point, nor I have had the recycle bin icon on the desktop.
shiit
I should have watched that first. Horrible, I had the wrong frame-rate set also.
Kill me.
Not only your webm tells nothing about the issue at hand, it reveals your embarrassing tendencies. Please grow up.
Come at me.
Here, this is what happens.
