The Mate desktop should also work; it is a continuation of the old Gnome
2 desktop.

I answer a bit late, but I repost a message on 3D graphics from Mai
2017 :
Hello,
we just wanted to share our experience in finding a configuration
which allows to use 3D graphics under linux using Nvidia GeForce 3D
glasses.
We had quite a hard time to find a configurations which works correctly.
We finally used Debian linux with a xfce desktop. Other recent
desktops use a tiling which is not compatible with 3D graphics.
The hardware consists of
* a DELL Precision T5810 desktop computer with an Nvidia Quadro
M4000 (8 Gbyte memory, 4 DP) graphics card
* Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision 2 (NVIDIA GEF 3D VISION 2 GLASSES KIT)
active stereo glasses
* a stereo connector PNY Quadro 4000 3D for the synchronization of
graphics card and glasses
* an ASUS 24" LED 3D - VG248QE display
* a DisplayPort-DisplayPort cable
The Nvidia linux drivers from version 367.57 can handle the current
version of the Nvidia glasses.
For an obscure reason a direct DP-DP connection between graphics card
and display is absolutely required in order to obtain fully working
stereo. If a DP-DVI dual link adapter is used, the stereo does not
work on the top and the bottom part of the screen. This is true for a
native DELL active adaptor or generic models. The exact reason remains
unresolved, but the solution is to use a direct DP-DP connection. This
limits the available choice of displays which require 120 Hz for
1080*1980 screen resolution and a DP input. We have been choosing a
“Nvidia 3D ready” model.
There has been a considerate about of exchange about this problem on
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/992892/linux/partially-working-stereoscopic-effect-with-3d-vision-under-debian-linux/
The setup comes with a price tag of about 1600 € free of taxes.
coot, pymol and chimera work straight without problems in hardware
stereo mode. The experience is absolutely great.
Best
Wim
