What a trip back in time. I also individualised my desktop! Thinking about my current desktop...I never use my desktop anymore. Junk accumulated there, I don't need to put files there. I think it makes it strictly worse because of the clutter. The only reason why I would use it is to interact with finder but I think that could be solved differently (dragging/dropping from one window to the other). Everything else is always fullscreen, be it vs code, safari or my terminal.
