How to get borders around my windows in the “Ubuntu”/GNOME desktops?
Using Ubuntu 18.04.
When I use the window manager called "Ubuntu" which seems to be just GNOME (what is the difference?), my windows do not have borders drawn around them.
This is extremely annoying when windows overlap, especially terminals, because the text of one window visually merges with the text from the overlapping window. How can I get those borders back I am used from the Mate or Xfce window managers?
I find it really odd how GNOME makes everything worse, more clumsy, less configurable, less intuitive and less usable but sadly, Mate and other window managers fall behind too so one gets more or less forced to use the annoying crap that GNOME is.
