Honestly I promise you’re better off using a better organization system than dump it on the desktop… But I can totally solve that problem for you!

It’s a little tough to explain, but what you’re looking for is a different Desktop Environment. Fedora Workstation uses Gnome, which doesn’t do desktop icons by default. I love it, but it’s not for everyone.

Fortunately, this is Linux so you have a choice!

If you want to stick with Fedora, use the KDE or Cinnamon spin. Check the Fedora Spins page:

https://fedoraproject.org/spins/

KDE is super customizable and modern, with lots of fun stuff you can do with the desktop, while Cinnamon is a bit less flexible but more familiar for folks coming from Windows. Either way, you can clutter up your desktop to your heart’s content 😁.

Either way, it’s still Fedora underneath.

If you really want to try something not Fedora, then you could go Linux Mint if you like the way Cinnamon looks; they invented that Desktop Environment, and make what might be the most beginner friendly Linux Distro:

If you’d rather KDE and want something. other than Fedora, then I can suggest KDE Neon. It’s actually handled by the KDE project itself:

Hope that helps, and if you have any more questions, I’ll help if I can.
