After that apt-get upgrade should be enough and you should only dist-upgrade when you get pending/held-back packages, it can break your system if there are dependency issues.
Removal: It would be safer to remove gnome3-staging first. Sometimes ppa-purge can get confused and remove extra packages, if this happens (or to be safe, always) you need to run apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop^ after ppa-purge, but before rebooting to pull back in those packages Finally it is highly recommended to ppa-purge gnome3-staging always before upgrading to the next release, and not just letting the installer disable the ppa (since that does not actually remove the packages. > > Learn about how to protect yourself on the internet > <https://prism-break.org/en/> > Why it is important to encrypt your communications > <https://freedom.press/encryption-works> > An easy how-to guide to PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) > <https://emailselfdefense.fsf.org/en/> > > Nothing ruins creativity like too many voices weighing in.
