What I found interesting is desktop ui hasn’t changed much from either a windows layout or Mac layout. Isn’t there any other ui which is as useful as those two? Is there no ongoing research on os ui?
personally I think we need to shift from the 'file location' paradigm to tagging (thinking xattr).. that will solve many problems with UI (also raise some for sure).
But episodic memory (the timeline so to speak) is powerful too. Consider "list all pictures I watched in the last two days".
Both are important. Combine it by saying "distribute them on the screen from left to right sorted by how long I looked at it in ascending order".
I think local AI would come in quite handy to tag files and keep the tagging consistent..

Whereas tagging doesn't align as naturally with the human brain in the same way.
