If you think about productivity, you can't help but think that having the default state of your computer being an image with a few icons on it is less than stellar. For opening files, it will never be tidy enough to give you access to all you need, you need a launcher or a folder structure, meaning the desktop is bad at this. For opening apps, having visual shortcuts on the desktop is a duplicate of whatever panel or launcher you have.

Valid criticisms. I don't watch LTT (Linux Tech Talk?), so do you have a link to a video?

IMO, it probably needs more thought and he should work with a UX + UI designer to come up with something that fits his flow. After developing a good uh... UX language? design language? maybe others might find it intriguing enough to have a stab at implementing it.

LTT is Linus Tech Tips. It's more of an entertainment channel with technology flavor. They're pretty terrible when it comes to actual technological understanding.

The entire gimmick of a joke leading into the sponsor. The literal phrasing “… like this segue to our sponsor”
