I have installed and used Ubuntu, and now I want to try the GNOME desktop environment.

I don't know where to start. Could you give me some guidance?

Thanks!

Installing Gnome-Shell

Open a terminal and first of all fetch the latest package informations via

sudo apt update

Then install gnome-shell via the following command

sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

If that finished, logout and back in the login-dialog (most likely lightdm) choose your session type and relogin to a new session - this time using Gnome. enter image description here

You'll find some documentation for the gnome project here.

Go to the terminal and type this command:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop

Logoff, then select the Gnome Desktop at the login screen.
