Nautilus Desktop?

[Daveski17]

Hello,

I’m curious about ‘Nautilus desktop’ in Files on 20.04 LTS after upgrading from 16.04 LTS.

The location ‘could not be displayed’.

Is it safe to remove this?

Nautilus is the name the Gnome developers call the Gnome file manager (Files). The Desktop is quite literally the Ubuntu desktop. It is treated as if it is a folder coming off of the home folder. If we put links to any folders, files or applications on the desktop then the Files utility will show them in a folder called Desktop.

I have no idea what x-nautilus is. This link will explain it:

It says that you have added the Desktop to your bookmarks. The Gnome developers now call bookmarks - Favourites.

Regards

OK, thanks. Ermm ... I'll leave it for now as it isn't doing any harm.
