I no longer use any other profile folder than Desktop. Yeah, it might be cluttered, but I can always make more sub folders named "stuff on desktop 33".

What's your filing system yospos?

You gotta have iron knucles to do something like that. One cat on the keyboard away from disaster.

my favourite is icloud on macos because I had saved something there and I needed to access it with a folder that required the true location (ie usr/var/bullshit/unix/hierarchy/sux) and I simply couldn’t find it!
it must be really safe

Yeah, I had to change stuff on windows because Microsoft thought that desktop should be under one drive and that didn't work really well for me. The downside is when I try to put files from one drive on my desktop by dragging them, they get deleted by one drive.

desktop is where you put screenshots of funny things your coworkers accidently said on teams

Not gonna lie - on a blu ray I burned in 2011 there is an "old dekstop folder" with several "old desktop folders' nested underneath going all the way back to 1998 when my family got a computer.
