Public bug reported:
Install gnome-shell-extensions.
>From the login screen, choose GNOME Classic and log in.
GNOME Classic enables several extensions, but it's not easily possible
to individually disable specific extensions.
This is a problem if someone wants a hybrid experience that is closer to
GNOME than pure GNOME Classic.
Also, there are some changes in GNOME Classic that are not easy to get
in the regular GNOME session. For instance, it switches the theme to a
lighter gray color.
I think GNOME Shell modes are an interesting idea. I considered using a
GNOME Shell mode for Ubuntu's default session in case we wanted to
enable at least one extension by default. But I think it's important
that users can easily disable those extensions too. Some GNOME
contributors thought the idea of Ubuntu using a GNOME Shell mode to
enable a dock extension was a bit too heavy-handed, maybe because of
this issue.
Other Info
-----------
GNOME Shell modes are stored in /usr/share/gnome-shell/modes/ . Besides
classic.json, there is also initial-setup.json provided by gnome-initial-setup.
