How does WP handle custom content types and displaying records? Drupal has the ability to make content types and completely custom entities and then use Views to display them pretty much however you can dream up.
Not sure exactly what you mean... example?
A simple example is a mileage tracking system. So you have a custom content type for a mileage entry and then a view to display it. The view can be a table like in this example, or it can be anything you can think up.
Oh I see. No I don't believe anything like that is built-in to WordPress. But I wouldn't use WordPress for that purpose anyways.
If I had to, that would need to be done via a Plugin, which are very abundant.

I'm part of a site that uses a function like that in Joomla.

I haven't seen that ability in Joomla either by default, but it's been a few years. At least not without a lot of custom work, but same with WordPress.

Oh, so kind of like Access but, obviously, way more advanced and useful.
Ya you can create pretty much anything. Thats why it’s more of a CMF than a CMS.

Ya the last place I worked I built an intranet that tracked safety issues, serial numbers, part/QA issues, etc. There was a part that you could bring up and have delivery people sign with their finger for accepting shipments. I put a ton of work into that one.

Now for loads of scams of people claiming that they are the real prince and pointing to this as proof that they can't be the scammer.

The only problem I have is that these scams hae been around for a lot longer than 18 months, lol.

@dafyre Well the guy probably made enough money off of the scam to get to the US (at which point he could be prosecuted.)

So what exactly is the purpose of the desktop then?

I don't see it has an issue since there are other Desktop environments to choose from that still supports storing items on Desktop. And plus the Nautilus developer is developing an gnome extension.

Cinnamon does. Deepin does. Every desktop environment I use supports it. It's literally the purpose of the desktop.

To run GUI apps... which is what you want on your desktop.
You can easily install gnome-tweak-tool or something like that to add desktop icons if you want them. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
Currently, I don't have it. That side bar thing seems to work well enough for me. It's non-intrusive unlike on other distros.

From what read, using gnome-tweak-tool to enable desktop icons might not work either. That's why there's a gnome extension being developed.

Hmm... did I try it on Fedora 27? I know it worked on 25 and 26 for sure. Maybe I haven't tried on 27.
