I want to return to Gnome 3.36 'cause Gnome 3.38 has given me some problems link to the problem.

Is it convenient to downgrade Gnome without downgrading Ubuntu, and how can I do it?

  • I would recommend asking about the problem that you actually face. Downgrading packages is not a fix and will likely only exacerbate the problem as time goes on. Do you plan to never update? What happens when other software relies on the correct version?... etc... I'm skeptical that your problem has anything to do with differences between v 3.36 and v 3.38. Correlation does not indicate causation. We can't advise on your problem because you said nothing about the actual problem you are encountering. – Nmath Nov 10 '20 at 19:44

  • The problem is here link It's about gnome 3.38 doesn't rotates screen automatically. In Gnome 3.36 it works so I want to return to that version. I plan to change to DDE when the semester finishes. – evening_g Nov 11 '20 at 00:38

While it is not advisable to downgrade core packages that many other components rely upon, this answer demonstrates the method to install a specific version of a package, which can be a prior one.

apt-get install «pkg»=«version»

That said, the issue you were having appears to have been fixed and made available in GNOME 3.28.2, made available in the repositories at the end of December 2020.
