This is the way. It also forces you to organise files properly instead of periodically shoving several unused shortcuts and downloads into “organize later” folders.

I also have desktop icons disabled so it just shows a clean minimal wallpaper.

I absolutely love showing the normies my full no desktop icons, “never combine/show labels”, small taskbar icons, Powertoys Fancyzones, virtual desktops, alt-space to launch literally anything experience. Blows their minds.

The future is now, my friends. Learn how your tools work.
