If this a distro issue related to the installer or whatever else - Are you
saying that there are distros that don't have this discrepancy?
I guess Arbeitsfläche is the prettier term semantically, but Schreibtisch is
nicer "computationally", it has only ASCII characters so it will never cause
problems in a (highly frequented) file path, and surely everyone understands
what it's referring to.
But I'd really like to find out if distros exist (with official KDE out of the
box) where that directory is also named Arbeitsfläche. I can't say 100% sure,
but I think I've never seen one. Will however investigate on the Garuda side as
well.
