There are desktop computers which are in shared environments (computer labs, public libraries, kiosks, teller lines, etc). So user-based permission models make a lot of sense for desktops.
- jenscow 9y agoIn those environments the same local user account is usually used. Or, a network account and in that case files are usually stored on a server.
