with the new gnome
1. desktop content (icons/files) cannot be navigated/deleted/modified by keyboard
2. missing feature to have icons arranged on desktop
3. the bug that the icons get rearranged randomly when displays are changed together with point 2 makes the desktop unusable for my whole family.
We have 6 computer running default ubuntu 18.04 and migrated to 20.04 - this seams to be a mistake now.
I cannot express how harmful such small decision about icon removal is for anyone trying to use Ubuntu. Imagine the newcomers to Linux destkop - this is like 10 steps back with one small mistaken step.
