I have a laptop that I use Gnome on. It came with that as the default over
10 years ago, before the big Gnome "upgrade" that made it real horrible. Because
I have not done a fresh install since -- upgrading via apt instead
-- I think I have a version of Gnome on that machine that can no longer
be installed on new machines via apt. I recently got a new system and
tried to put Gnome on it, but the "classic/lite" version it installed isn't what
the laptop has. It was something newer, so I went with a mix of LxQT
and IceWM instead.
