Hey guys, Im trying to figure out how to add Desktop icons to Budgie, I came across a post earlier discussing it but it required nautilus-legacy, which for some reason will not compile anymore.
I keep getting this error when I build the package with the AUR

Is there anyway to get desktop icons without nautlius-legacy?

installing budgie in vm
That was my first issue with bugie, and my first post on this forum
Hi there,
So, I was curious to try Solus + Budgie, I installed on an older-almost-dead laptop, and I really liked Budgie; then I re-installed Endeavour + Budgie.
And I am missing a bunch of settings and configs that were in budgie from solus.
Mainly I am not able to create links to folders nor programs on the desktop, the section for ‘desktop icons’ is missing in ‘budgie desktop settings’; and some other oddities here and there.
I want to clarify that I am not complaining nor ranting, but It…
