    I want to replace Unity with Gnome3 in Ubuntu 14.04, I know there is a version Gnome Ubuntu but i prefer not having to reinstall Ubuntu. I guess I just must add repositories of gnome, update and install gnome-shell, but i don't know if need something more to avoid problems after with gnome extensions and other stuff. Sorry for my english.

    It is better to install Ubuntu Gnome since the gnome installation removes a bunch of Unity packages and ends up breaking the system more often than not.

    I guess things have become better then. Gnome has broken my Unity installation in the past.
