Hey it's my CIA handler!
we have determined you to be threat level orange this week
With the introduction of Gnome Shell in 2011, the Gnome developers decided desktop icons were tacky and got rid of them. There are some extensions to bring them back, but the Gnome developers are just and righteous in their arbitrary design tyranny.
The dictatorship of the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) has given us the most beautiful desktop environment but also the most controversial.

Can you tell that I am extremely annoying about recommending people Disco Elysium?
lol nice
Awful lot of Windows in this thread. Let me contribute. Yes, there are no icons because I didn't bother configuring it to display those, and I think it looks prettier that way.
history nerd shit
For the history nerds, I couldn't verify the picture with 100% certainty, but I'm pretty sure it's a picture from the control room in the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant, the first grid-connected nuclear power plant in history (source 1, source 2).
It's possible that it's another power plant with a similar control panel. I'm not sure who the scientist are. Some sources I saw mention Igor Kurchatov as one of the scientists, but there's a whole myth about him never shaving his beard (which neither scientist pictured have) that I didn't bother to verify. Besides being in this project, Kurchatov helped build the first Soviet atomic bomb, and has a whole array of things named after him, notably the Kurchatov Institute.
In 1957 he received the Lenin Prize and four times the Stalin Prize and the State Prize of the USSR (1942, 1949, 1951, 1954). He was the hero of socialist work three times (1949, 1951, 1954).
I'm also on linux but use sway and haven't configured anything to take a screenshot yet lol

The desktop of my main ThinkPad. The wifi information is redacted.
Arch Linux w/ sway, swaybg, and waybar. Gruvbox lagtrain as background, with a gruvbox theme applied to everything.

Hey I'm proud of my tasteful horny Keith Parkinson art
oh, that's fine, i've watched an international student stream his anime titty background to tenured faculty while pulling up slides for science research before. my linux having ass is just more shocked at the usage of a desktop with shortcuts on it. just feels too cluttered for me now.
Blurred out private notes (mostly just appointments, todo lists, doctor names/numbers, etc.)

CW: MacOS 
I prefer to just toggle into launchpad or use the taskbar usually since I've organized it well enough 
don't visit my desktop often since I usually fullscreen my browser/code editor

2 years and 50+ different distributions have culminated in a Bazzite Ublue install that I am neither over excited nor overly annoyed about. I will never go back to GNOME though.
Yeah, I live like that. I never just leave it sitting with a bare desktop so I never change my background image these days.
Cool
you have made me want to change my backgrounds that I never look at, tyvm

I switch my desktop wallpaper every couple of months/weeks.
I catalogue what shows I watch and what games I play etc.
Nobara OS. Already clean 
The taskbar is usually hidden too so it's literally just an animated wallpaper
Is this a desktop?
Arch Linux w/ GNOME 45
Not today, Langley

Thanks, pretty mountains

Damn, those are some old ass games.
The game icon is so that Mrs. ButtBidet can find her game without messing around with Steam and Linux.
Not even the first disco elysium wallpaper in the thread.
Took the liberty of hiding the weather forecast because I'm already open about which country I'm from and don't want to show my location too.
I have a rotating batch of desktop. I also like haven't added any desktop shortcuts in years. Also did hide my real name that appears on some apps.
