JoshStrobl Thank you, Josh. Yeah, I read the blog post. While I do not use the desktop for file storage, I think many people coming from Windows do - and their workflow seems to partially rely on the desktop functioning like an "always on" file manager instance with a background image.

But I understand that Budgie Desktop View goes a middle way.

        mrfoggg Not sure what you mean by that. We have the Places applet, which AFAIK still works. Budgie Desktop View will also show active mounts.

            JoshStrobl Budgie Desktop View

            I've read about this for a while, but I've never seen what it does, because I can't figure out how to access it. Anyone know how?

                WetGeek, I believe it's the system for managing icons on the desktop. If in Budgie settings you enable "Show icons on desktop" then you are using Desktop View.

                  JoshStrobl enable desktop icons and voila, you're using it.

                  Indeed. This laptop is host to three VMs with icons on the desktop. All this time I've been using it, and didn't realize there was anything different about the desktop. I'm pretty sure that's by design. Everything I've read about the desktop view makes sense to me now, thanks!
