There are better ways to do things in Linux than to click on an icon. There are also better uses for a desktop than just to keep it all cluttered up with icons; for example, photos, artwork, maps, etc. The screenshots page shows examples of how wildly different our desktops can be made to look, yet they are all TDE. You can make your Trinity desktop do almost anything you want, if it is within the capabilities of your hardware, and you have enough technical knowledge to find a way to do it.
