Windows 95 was easier to use simply because of saving everything to the desktop. When Windows 98 tried to introduce "My Documents" i was like nope and still saved everything to the desktop.

Id just like to add that whoever started sending game files to the hidden part of documents should be shot. How hard is it to just make a Games folder and a Games Save folder?
Steam games need to store save files in the same library location as the game, using a sub folder that maps to the steam account name. Stop filling up the app data folder for the operating system account that is running steam. My C drive is full, go away.
Also, Windows doesn't allow writing to files to in Program folders... So let's put everything that needs RAM into that directory! But not the save files, those are hidden 7 layes deep in MyAss/hidden/hidden/almost there/hidden/docs/maybe save files.

The top of your desk is exactly where you want the document that you will need in a minute to go. Its what bosses demanded since before modern computing
If that is not the intended usecase, then what is?
In linux i am saving stuff in a related project folder which may aswell be that projects own desktop.
Right click>view>uncheck show desktop icons
Don't forget to put a screenshot of the old desktop as a wallpaper for an epic prank!

If the "shopping trolley test" determines good versus evil, then where you save your files determines lawful vs chaotic.
Lawful: specific files in specific places
Neutral: everything goes in downloads
Chaotic: everything goes on desktop
Lawful Good - Saved in specific places
Lawful Evil - Saved in recycle bin
Neutral Good - Saved in downloads
Neutral Evil - Saved in downloads or documents but you're not sure which one
Chaotic Good - Everything goes on desktop
Chaotic Evil - Everything goes into a random location
