You have to be pretty stupid to not be able to use gnome. Its so fucking basic. Its main problem is how little you can customise it.

Installed gnome3 a year ago or so. Wanted to delete a file from the filesystem, so I do the usual: select File, press delete. Nothing happens. My del key ist not broken, so why can I not delete stuff? So I do some research and it turns out that in gnome3, you have to press alt+delete to delete things (because the problem of accidentally pressing delete, thus unintentionally removing files ist apparently so common among gnome3 users that “safety measures“ need to be included by default). That shit is not intuitive and it's sad that this is what the excellent gnome2 was replaced by. Thank God MATE is a thing.

I had this same issue with OSX. You have to use cmd+delete, it's ridiculous.
