The top of your desk is exactly where you want the document that you will need in a minute to go. Its what bosses demanded since before modern computing

If that is not the intended usecase, then what is?

In linux i am saving stuff in a related project folder which may aswell be that projects own desktop.

Isn't the desktop just a place for displaying a picture? People have icons there?

This one guy at work has 3 layers of desktop icons. LAYERS. I don't know how he manages.

"Sir, please. I'm begging you. Use a folder. Just one single folder."

"THOG NO LIKE COMPUTER! THOG SAVE TO DESKTOP!!!"

This is why you people aren't allowed access to printers anymore.

OneDrive can be configured to automatically back up your desktop. So the desktop might be OneDrive

Save to documents surely? It's a document

I didn't think that any Windows related software was actually aware that the 'Documents' folder is supposed to be for documents. Because my 'Documents' folder gets used as a dumping ground for any old program to drop their shit in. Even though there's literally dedicated folders for app data and saved games.

Personally I make my own 'Home' folder with my own pictures, movies, documents etc. folders because whether it's Windows, Linux or Android, the concept of having your own user folder for your own things is a joke because developers don't respect that and just dump their files anywhere.

If the "shopping trolley test" determines good versus evil, then where you save your files determines lawful vs chaotic.

Lawful: specific files in specific places

Neutral: everything goes in downloads

Chaotic: everything goes on desktop

Lawful Good - Saved in specific places

Lawful Evil - Saved in recycle bin

Neutral Good - Saved in downloads

Neutral Evil - Saved in downloads or documents but you're not sure which one

Chaotic Good - Everything goes on desktop

Chaotic Evil - Everything goes into a random location

OneDrive documents --> PC documents --> desktop

Windows 95 was easier to use simply because of saving everything to the desktop. When Windows 98 tried to introduce "My Documents" i was like nope and still saved everything to the desktop.
