@cassidyjames I don't. This is a completely fresh install. Nothing new installed.

Ha, I keep forgetting about this because I hide it with my personal .dotfiles. 😅 But I can confirm we're getting a Desktop folder on OS 6 stable. I might be wrong/misremembering, but I think in the past we may have fixed this by setting the xdg "desktop" folder to ~/?

Maybe we need to patch xdg-user-dirs and xdg-user-dirs-gtk if we want to hide the unused Desktop directory? It looks like we used to provide a patch when OS 0.4.x and 5.x, but has not provided since 6.x:
