Very timely. I'd just installed 15.10 on a new laptop(*), with the default
Unity, and was about to switch over to Gnome Metacity or whatever
as I'd done with earlier releases.

>From what I'm reading about Ubuntu Gnome 3 it's a fresh install, and
you can't easily upgrade/convert an existing 15.q0 installation. Or can
you? Any advice/suggestions?

Cheers

(*) I don't usually leap onto the latest releases, but this particular
HP notebook has a Realtek WiFi card which runs into a bug in the
earlier Ubuntu releases, in which it continually drops its connection.
The bug persisted right up to 15.04, but seems fixed in 15.10.
