Why Can’t I Use Drag and Drop on My Linux Desktop?
Asked by
CoolCat1234
I recently switched to Linux to ditch Microsoft Windows, but I'm frustrated because one feature I rely on heavily is drag and drop, especially for moving photos from the web to my desktop or other applications. I find myself manually uploading everything, which is a hassle. I've installed the extension "I'm a gentleman," but it hasn't solved the problem. What can I do to get drag and drop working on Fedora Linux?

The way the desktop is set up can differ between various desktop environments. Try dragging and dropping images directly into a file manager like Nautilus instead of the desktop; some environments handle desktop usage differently. It could be a simple fix depending on what you're using.
