Still the same in Cosmic. In the upstream bug it does not seem that they want to add it back by default (as expected really), so I'd think it's up to Ubuntu if files on desktop remain in contrast to upstream.
"António Fernandes @antoniof · 8 months ago Developer The Desktop folder should become bookmarkable: #187 (closed) Starting with version 3.28, nautilus will not handle the "files on desktop background" feature." The #187 is closed because bookmarking is already possible. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/187 However, bookmarking is a poor replacement: - It gets listed in the bookmarks section, far away from Home and Documents where it really belongs as a central feature of file management in Ubuntu. - As bookmark, he icon (in Cosmic) has black & white outline style which is inconsistent with the prominent colorful Desktop icon that is shown inside the Home folder -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720089 Title: Desktop isn't part of "places" (left bar) in artful Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Artful re-enabled the desktop, but it is not showing up in the left bar of nautilus [This used to be called "places"?].
