Windows 95 vibe

I legit ran no icons and single click mode to make my desktop look like a web page back when I was in high school.

- Active desktop with google search in an iframe and a midi playing in the background was the way 😤

  I remember installing a file run URL protocol for use with active desktop. Had fancy on hover icons for my programs. Would never install such a thing now.

- Single clicks are superior and also more accessible. Just think about it why do you even need double clicks? KDE Plasma handles selection very well in single click mode, too. Once one experiences it, there's no going back to double clicking things like a cave person

- I ran no icons in Windows 3.11 to save on system load time, and got used to it. I still run a plain black background with no icons, even though it probably doesn't save any time at this point.

Should just turn it into a list at that point.

  Especially time, dont believe the lInUx Is EaSy crowd. it is a learning curve if u want to do anything more than the most basic operations, and you can forget about most of the software you're used to.

instead of putting google chrome into the recycle bit you could accedentally put roblox studio into the recycle bin

- Some stuff still needs Google Chrome due to actual missing Firefox features; I don't have Firefox on my desktop because it's on my taskbar.
