I'd be happy if those apps were asking to save to Documents like in the screenshot. But alas, reality is much more cruel. They always want to save to some vague OneDrive location, and won't even show you the local file browser without extra steps.

This is a word document. Where should you save a word document?
In the documents folder. The documents folder.
That's right! You save it to the desktop!
no... No please...
What about this picture file? Where would you save a picture file?
In the pictures folder. Cmon...
That's right! You save it to the desktop!
oh god why....
I just downloaded this file... Where should I save it?
The... The downloads folder?
That's right! You save it to the desktop!

For those that don't know... This is a reference to this video. https://youtu.be/cUbIkNUFs-4
I use downloads instead, it mainly functions as a temporary folder where anything unimportant can live and once it gets a scroll bar it all gets deleted. For the very rare things that are important I could then move them after.
How do you move a file after deletion? I need to know this black magic.

Saving to desktop is insane behaviour and the OP just told on herself.

I think she means OneDrive.
Its a black hole. You just drop files in there and never open them again.
Soooo true! I can’t believe how much they’ve made the damn computer fight you on this!
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.
I am the opposite and I absolutely hate it when I have to work on someone's laptop with cluttered desktop and folders. Mine only has a taskbar at bottom and clock widget at bottom right corner. All temporary files goes to downloads or to organised directories. What's the point of having a nice wallpaper if you can't enjoy it.
I'm the same way. I will tolerate no icons on my desktop. It's widgets or nothin'.
Now, my physical desktop, on the other hand...

Microsoft: put it in OneDrive. We will use your content to train our AI models. No really this is fine.
Also Microsoft: If you ever try to leave us we will delete all of your data on all of your devices. We might even do it at random just for fun…No, we won't warn you.
I love the random deletetion. They deleted a whole year of my university notes just because.
This is some Window level joke. BTW, I put my configs in home directory.
You monster! They belong in ~/.config
I find it hard to believe that Lauren, who saves everything to the Desktop, is dabbling with Office config files.
You probably keep the files she's referring to in your Documents, Downloads, etc. folder within your home directory too.
Holy Shit.
