of documentation for d

gnome-tweak-tool is a way to get this done, I don't think it's the best,

Go into a terminal and enter these commands:
sudo pacman -S gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool
gnome-tweak-tool
Now go to the second page from the bottom

Thanks for telling me about the desktop being gone. I really wondered
and am a bit surprised as I thought most people valued and used a
