How to install Nautilus 3.26 in Ubuntu 20.04 and get updates in unity?

Question

I recently (manually) upgraded from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04 and I'm not liking this new Nautilus 3.28 at all. I can't decrease the desktop font size from gsetting set org.gnome.nautilus.dekstop Besides I'm going to purge gnome desktop and install unity anyway. So is there any way to roll back the Nautilus?

I also didn't get any update in 18.04 because I used unity. Can that be solved somehow in 20.04 without using gnome?

Does this answer your question? How to remove GNOME Shell from Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to install other desktop environment from scratch? . Unity will use the same version of Nautilus. So it is no way. Use MATE or Cinnamon instead. — N0rbert, Nov 20 '20 at 07:31
Unity will use whatever you set to handle desktop, best option is nemo. As far as using an older Nautilus in 20.04 not possible or easily so. The ubuntu-unity-desktop package should take care of desktop handling by nemo for you, it's up to you what your default file manager is (if you leave Nautilus installed.. — doug, Nov 20 '20 at 10:28
@N0rbert starting from 20.04, nemo is the default file manager in Ubuntu Unity remix, so from that side, it will be OK. — vanadium, Nov 20 '20 at 11:00
Maybe, but the ubuntu-unity-desktop meta-package still depends on nautilus. Do not know other way to install Ubuntu Unity "remix". — N0rbert, Nov 20 '20 at 12:11
