You know the joke, some people maintain their desktop unoccupied in order to allow occasional landings of helicopters (in order not to tell those people lazy – of course there was never anything looking like work placed on their desktops).

Now GNOME 3 seems to promote this joke to a principle. I searched the internet the whole morning, and none of the offered solutions seem to allow me to occupy my Desktop with work:
- GNOME 3 - desktop is clean like a helicopter landing place
- GNOME 3 classic - gray bars at the top and the bottom, but still nothing on the Desktop
- dconf editor → org → gnome → desktop → background → enable show-desktop-icons
→ still nothing - install the Desktop Icon Shell extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/
Code:fetch https://extensions.gnome.org/extension-data/desktop-icons%40csoriano.v10.shell-extension.zip unzip -c ~/desktop-icons%40csoriano.v10.shell-extension.zip metadata.json | grep uuid | cut -d \" -f4 mkdir -p ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano unzip -q ~/desktop-icons%40csoriano.v10.shell-extension.zip -d ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/desktop-icons@csoriano gnome-shell-extension-tool -e desktop-icons@csoriano
