I am also a clean desktop fan, no icons for me. Nice thing about KDE is I don't even have the mandatory trash can like windows does.

you can remove on windows, though if you do it, good lucm accessing the trash, fhere is no trash entry on the side pqnel of file explorer

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

I just removed windows instead, much better that way

Icons on desktop are actually useful. It’s much easier to find an icon on a desktop than on a dock, because you have two dimensions instead of one. And it’s infinitely easier to find an icon and click on it than to type a name of a program into Dmenu. But yes, icons do look bad.

I would actually like to have icons on my desktop, but I can’t find a program to show icons that’s suitable for me.

nah, pin most used programs to the taskbar, second most used to the app launcher, everything else can be searched for. No need to go back to the desktop to launch something.

Icons on desktop is a huge red flag for me.

Nice XFCE.

[–] RetroHax@feddit.org 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks :D
Honestly the only reason im still not on Wayland aside from the Screenshot Issues "FoR SEcURiTY" :P

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Slow implementation progress is another reason :P

[–] RetroHax@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago
