    OK I did not know the desktop could do that, that’s actually pretty cool. I assumed you were talking about virtual desktops but I didn’t realise the icon space on the desktop can spill of screen and then be scrolled.

    That’s actually pretty useful - could keep some less used links of screen until you want and scroll them back into view

    Huh, interesting. I had no idea. Though for the most part I’ve generally come to enjoy the default of generally having no icons on the desktop anymore. All that sort of stuff relegated to a dodging panel.

    But that’s also part of why I love KDE and plasma. And use it as my preferred desktop over gnome. The configurability.

      Nah, if you just put the file lower than the lowest part of the grid, it just snaps below that to create a NEW column and turns into a scroll-able, I accidentally did this and now Im in love with it lol

      In the video: I had 2 files, I proceeded to then use the middle scroll to then scroll to another file at the very bottom of the desktop, and I was able to just scroll up and down like it was a window, not sure if its a bug, but I do NOT want it fixed lol

          It does because it doesnt feel intentional how it starts a new column, but I love it still. [It should just be a feature with starting columns easier]

    DYK you can roll the scroll wheel while having the desktop selected to move through virtual desktops.

    My desktop is hidden by all the open apps all the time. Sure you can get there via the file manager, but it’s just another folder. And sure you can deliberately minimise all the apps. But the content is, by default hidden, and not in your face, to be stumbled upon like an inbox. Desktops can only contain closed files, and are a flaw in the UX logic.
