No desktop icons in kali linux, but files can be seen on file explorer
In addition to that, I cant move a file or folder onto the desktop. It just does an animation that brings it back to the file explorer.
Also I have lost some options when right clicking on the desktop. There's supposed to be an Open in terminal option but the only thing I get is this
This issue occurred when I did apt-get dist-upgrade and some other apt-get commands. My GNOME version is 33.0 if that is necessary.

The same "issue"? Nothing is appearing on the Desktop in Kali Linux

Yes @KamilMaciorowski. But I have learned that it was not an issue with Kali, but with GNOME update. Here's the link bugs.kali.org/view.php?id=4983. Will just wait until they'll fix it.

Gnome 3.28 removes the option to display desktop icons
You have GNOME version 3.30 and it's weird that you still have problem.
Try this extension:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1444/desktop-icons-enhanced/
or this:
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1465/desktop-icons/

There may be an issue with desktop icons, as you mentioned in you comment. However, be aware that many distros using the latest version of Gnome disable moving files and folders to the Desktop. This "feature" can be disabled by tweaking Gnome settings.
Personally, I find it very strange that a distro/Gnome would set this as the default. People have been using their Desktop to store files and folders for over 3 decades now. Why do they think k this change is necessary and mandatory?
