Ubuntu GNOME instead of Ubuntu 16.04
Can someone tell me if there is the most convenient way to reinstall linux. There is a version of Ubuntu 16.04, I want to install Ubuntu GNOME. Who has any ideas, or has anyone already tried and done this? Thank you

Install the package gnome:
$ sudo apt-get install gnome
And on the user authorization screen, select the desired session. how exactly does the button for selecting a session look in your dm (there are actually a lot of them), I can only say approximately: something like a gear or a literal inscription "select a session".
If you rearrange it everything is much easier:
Download official Ubuntu Gnome
Install it.
Welcome to Gnome!
In general, it was possible to change the distribution only by completely reinstalling Linux, the replacement of the shell itself did not help.
Deleting Unity:
$ sudo apt remove unity8-desktop-session-mir && apt autoremove && apt -f install
Installing Gnome:
$ sudo apt install ubuntu-gnome-desktop
