If you wish to adjust the setting without having to install gnome-tweak-tool & gnome-shell, ect. then in a terminal

gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

Or in dconf-editor (requires installing dconf-tools) just follow above path - org > gnome > desktop > background, enable "show-desktop-icons"
