I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 and I like Unity, but I'm also curious so I would like to try out another DE. Few days ago I installed Cinnamon via PPA but that was not my style. I read good things about Gnome so I decided to give it a try. I went to official Gnome site and I saw that I have to download the ISO file, etc, But I wonder, is there an official PPA to install Gnome 3.12 on Ubuntu 14.04?

By the way I found Moka's Gnome shell theme and I installed that, it works, but I don't know if that's a full feature gnome shell or not. Well I know it's just a theme, but it give a whole new feeling.

3.12 isn't that different from 3.10, so you can just install Gnome Shell from the official repositories without using the PPAs:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool

To install GNOME 3.12 on Ubuntu 14.04, you have to use the GNOME3 Staging PPA (which itself depends on the GNOME3 PPA). Be warned that this can break things.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell gnome-tweak-tool
