Starting with version 3.28, GNOME users will have to seek an alternative way to display and manage files and folders. According to developer Ernestas Kulik, the team is scrubbing the “desktop” feature because it is impeding the progress of the overall environment.
Devs are looking at alternative solutions to the task. A prototype GNOME Shell extension has been built that fills the gap nicely, showing app shortcuts, folders, and files appear on the desktop as normal (albeit with a few organizational limitations). But, for now, GNOME’s “recommended” alternative is to install and use Nemo, a Nautilus fork.
