Good news for those of us building out a new Linux based company.
That, I believe, calls for a new thread?
Soon. Very soon.
We'll be announcing our head of IT soon, so....
Sorry for the thread jack
@scottalanmiller What happened to that promised thread post? -

Can’t wait to see what improvements Red Hat made with Linux VM guests on Hyper-V.

Maybe this will be the Gnome release that convinces me to enjoy Gnome.

It depends if you were ever interested in Gnome at all.

My main beef with Gnome is that without an extra tool package, files and directories that you place in the /home/whateverUser/Desktop directory don't actually appear on the desktop. It's been a while since I've given Gnome a chance (notwithstanding a recent thread), so maybe my gripe is no longer valid.

I love that part. I never have anything on my desktop. I use the activities overview to get everything.

I believe Gnome Tweak has a option to enable Desktop. But it was never an issue for me because I dislike anything on there except for wallpaper.
I know with Elementary OS, they removed Desktop folder.

Yeah, my gripe isn't a functional one. It's more of an aesthetic gripe: "why have that folder if it doesn't make stuff appear on the GUI's desktop?"

I think it's just carried over from user-dirs.defaults. There might be a reason why it's still there though.
You could just comment it out from that config if you don't want new users to have it. And removing it/commenting it out of ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs should get rid of it for you.

Because in Fedora for example allows you to log in using Gnome classic.
