Hi, thanks for your thoughts. I would like to stay with GNU Guix if possible, but it takes a lot of time at the moment, and I am not pleased with it, because I don’t want to spend all my spare time with hacking Guix. If I manage to install several (may be 3) Desktops I would be happy, that’

Hi, thanks for help. The link above has instructions. I think you can select the Classic view via the little session gear in the GDM login screen. I didn’t see any link above, only underneath for gnome-classic. I remember from an earlier distro, that I looked at gnome-classic, but it is like
