Bug Description

This bug is a feature request to replace Nautilus with Nemo.

The Desktop is not working too well in Ubuntu 20.04:

Could it be considered to replace Nautilus with Nemo as the default file manager, including managing desktop icons? With the tweaks outlined in this post, the Desktop works pretty well, and more or less as expected:

I always switch to Nemo when I install a fresh Ubuntu, due to all the extra configuration options it offers. Nautilus seems too minimalistic for a modern file manager.
