Gsettings Remove Desktop Icons Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

  • 772

I used to use gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false to remove desktop icons from Ubuntu 18.04. But this no longer works on Ubuntu 20.04. Why is it not working?

Edit
I don't want other tools that would help me achieve the goal. I just want to know why its not working.

20.04

  1. Rather than use the command line, perhaps the GUI interface would be better:

    1. Install Gnome Tweaks (if you haven’t done so already)
      sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
    2. Open the application
    3. Navigate to the Desktop Icons
    4. Toggle the icons off

    Changes take effect instantly.

    Hope this helps.
