Due to a software program I use, I am compelled to upgrade to (at least) the 20.04 release. I believe I have a Gnome / Mate desktop. I suspect when the upgrade finishes, my "look & feel" will drastically change. I'm really not keen on doing the tedious rebuild of the desktop. Is there some upgrade choice I can make to keep my current environment as-is, or is this not possible?

Generally, you cannot keep your old look and feel.
The desktop environment is rebuilt anew for different releases of Ubuntu. Migrating to a different release means migrating to a different build.
