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](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1290780/gnome-3-38-doesnt-rotates-screen-automatically) 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.
