Share your desktops here. I always enjoy seeing how people are set up; do aesthetics matter to you, do you operate on cold efficiency, etc.

I totally didn’t move all the porn off my desktop before taking this screen grab. I actually keep my desktop this neat. Yes sir.

I have been using the default Windows 7 collection for years, but my buddy has a 4K version of this shot of Pluto as his wallpaper and it’s honestly the best possible use of a 4K display.
I don’t keep icons on the desktop, so showing my start menu’s probably more useful. Also, I never see my wallpaper, so I just take patterns from subtlepatterns and color it red

Didn’t know about this subtlepatterns thing, but it looks good in there. Currently browsing.

Sorry, is there any reason you put your taskbar on top? I think I’d lose my mind

I’ve been slowly rotating through a series of backgrounds from Steven Universe, but I don’t honestly see it very often because I generally keep everything fullscreen and just switch workspaces.

I like how maximized windows will stretch all the way to the edge of the screen this way (instead of being sandwiched between the taskbar at the bottom and the title bar up top, if that makes sense). Also, saves me mouse movement since all taskbar and title bar buttons and tabs are close together.

I haven’t used the desktop for shortcuts in about… 10 years? Start menu/taskbar/search is my jam.

I keep Chrome open on my computer for days at a time and navigate out of Alfred/Finder/the Dock most of the time, so I haven’t actually looked at my desktop in a whi–
oh god, i’m so sorry

I’m a big fan of “new.jpg”.

Haha, go for it! I tried it on a whim one time a lot of years ago and never went back.
Also, if anyone knows a website with actual lossless wallpapers, I’d love a link. In my teens I spent so many hours browsing through wallpaper sites only to find JPEG artifacts on 99% of files.
Here’s my current one on my laptop. Running Arch with i3-gaps and polybar. I really like the simplicity of it. I’ve got a script going that changes my terminal/bar colours based on the wallpaper, it’s pretty dope.
My gaming PC is just a standard W10 desktop with a picture of a bear on it. It’s not that interesting.
