I opened up my terminal and changed into my home directory and ran
- Code: Select all
sudo mv Desktop/ .Desktop/
I expected this to make my workspace blank or something, I was wrong.
As I had expected my Desktop went away right before my eyes. Only to be replaced moments later by my home directory. So appearantly making your workspace directory hidden will force you to use the directory above it. I didn't like this however, and tried to name it back to the normal Desktop. The file name changed back, and the directory looks great. However, my workspace is still my home directory. This is so weird haha. Has anyone else ever done this? Seems pretty good for hidding stuff as well, because people expect your workspace to be your Desktop, and you could infact be using the home directory with a hidden and encrypted Desktop directory with all of your neat stuff as well as having a regular Desktop file with items copied from the home directory into it to make it look similar.
[Edit] If you want to try this for lulz, to fix it you can just run the following code and change your directory back.
However, always run with caution, and don't run it if you are not confident before so...
- Code: Select all
sudo nano ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
