Is there a fall back mode to run gnome in the old xorg mode? If so I would stick to that.

Thanks. That is what I am doing. I tried to load the nivdia drivers
given and it froze my screen and I had difficult time getting the
drivers to uninstall.

I have never used Cinnamon. I might try that. Will give me something to
do and some learning.

http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#Uninstall_the_nvidia_driver ? Why is
it that difficult ?
The nvidia driver is currently not compatible with f25+ xorg-server.
So you need to fallback to using nouveau which should works fine with
GNOME is any cases.
I woudl have tought even recent hardware not accelerated by nouveau
should work fine with llvmpipe http://www.mesa3d.org/llvmpipe.html ,
but that might not be the case.
(it wasn't confirmed when I've asked on #nouveau freenodes).

The only thing of gnome I even run is nautilus, which is better than the
other file managers I have tried, even if it is difficult to modify, or
discover how you can even modify (mostly due to older versions confusing
things). For everything else I use OpenBox, with lxpanels or xfce-panel,
launched from a scripted, xsession.
Basically My biggest issue with gnome has been lack of detailed
documentation. Plenty of simple 'help' but little to no actual REAL
documentation on various parts.
