Something keeps sneaking in and stealing my desktop icons on Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3. I have to reboot to get them back.

[That seems to be a persistent problem with several versions of Linux.]

I’ve never seen that happen before.

Well, obviously someone has installed this backdoor on your system in a nefarious plot to steal your desktop icons and ultimately...CONTROL. THE. WORLD!!!!!

Or your window manager is crashing for some reason.

But it's probably definitely the first one.

Any reason you have not upgraded to Mint v20.1?

That might help.

I'm not sure if upgrading to Mint 20.1 provides protection against RotaJakiro.
