- chao- 6y agoI completely agree, but it is worth pointing out that even "the desktop" looks different from how it did when the phrase originated, to say nothing of the digital tools and spaces that are not desktops. As a daily user of Linux desktops for over a decade (and known to be stick-in-the-mud about my desktop experience), even I have awoken to some shifts in my perspective and expectations, but only in an after-the-fact manner.
