That's outdated GNOME. I want the current release, i.e. https://release.gnome.org/47/ ... that's the tricky part.
Otherwise yes, I have done that, I had to use the older installer and then just installed gnome-core manually from commandline. It was PITA, but doable.
Debian isn't your friend then 😂
That being said I've run testing as a daily driver in the past, that gets you newer packages. Apt pinning is also an option.
I'm not familiar with apt pinning? What would be to the command to install newer gnome-core?
Basically you add the testing or unstable repository to your sources list. Then you can pin certain packages to pull from them, while keeping a mostly stable base system.
