If you think about productivity, you can’t help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.

I also think the suggestions in this videos are shitty and impractical.

I just ignored this video. And actually, most of his videos I’m ignoring as well.
Ah, OpenDoc. It was a good start, back in the 90s, and now is seen as an impossible pipedream. Ah well.
Valid criticisms. I don’t watch LTT (Linux Tech Talk?), so do you have a link to a video?
IMO, it probably needs more thought and he should work with a UX + UI designer to come up with something that fits his flow. After developing a good uh… UX language? design language? maybe others might find it intriguing enough to have a stab at implementing it.

LTT is Linus Tech Tips. It’s more of an entertainment channel with technology flavor. They’re pretty terrible when it comes to actual technological understanding.
