I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.
On my desktop, Delete (which moves the item to the Recycling bin) just deletes it.
Shift+Delete (which deletes the item permanently) does ask.

To me, this is correct behaviour and shouldn't change.

But...

I don't know if this has anything to do with the extension that is used to control the desktop. In Ubuntu, the default is the broken "Desktop Icons" [1], which should be replaced with the fixed "Desktop Icons NG (DING)" [2] (by the same author).

I have uninstalled Desktop Icons and installed Desktop Icons NG (DING). Thus, my desktop's behaviour might differ from the standard.
