Changing Nautilus to something else

[Karl]

@chrlyc

can you still paste from nautilus to the desktop ?

Only after I undid my changes and reverted to Nautilus (ptah) with these commands:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

xdg-mime default nautilus.desktop inode/directory application/x-gnome-saved-search

Then the paste option reappeared for the desktop.

The paste option is disabled

So, to be able to copy / paste to / from the desktop from Nautilus or nemo (you have to install nemo but don't have to use it) : 1 - Install nemo 2 - In gnome-tweaks (install it if you don't have it), go to the extentions menu desactivate the zorin-desktop-icons 3- In a terminal : nemo-desktop 4- Try it. You should now be able to paste / copy from to the desktop. 5- If you like it, just add it to the startup applications I respect other people work, but seriously gnome people, a desktop is…
