Gnome hasn't had desktop icons for 11 years. I think you must've been using a third party plugin.
- jmillikin 4y agoDesktop icons were removed from Nautilus about 4 years ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/46 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/46
- petepete 4y agoWell, they were disabled in the first version of GNOME 3 (2011) and you had to jump through hoops to re-enable them. I think from that it's clear they're not intended to be used.
