More detailed review <https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/05/ubuntu-18-04-the-return-of-a-familiar-interface-marks-the-best-ubuntu-in-years/>, which mentions some of the tensions between newer revisions to the GNOME philosophy, versus traditional ways of doing things. Choice quote: GNOME developers consider the desktop concept outdated, and they use the "desktop" pretty much as a wallpaper display tool. In other words, GNOME no longer allows placement of icons, widgets or other clutter on the desktop. I expect this will annoy a few users; does it bother you?
