How to upgrade to GNOME 3.30 on Ubuntu 18.04.1

Solution 1:

According to The Best New Features in GNOME 3.30 :

It will be available to download as source code from the GNOME Gitlab page, and be available to try via a live USB image.

Although many Linux distributions come with GNOME by default few distribute major new releases right away, instead choosing to ship the update as part of a new release.

Rolling release distros are the exception of course, so Arch, Manjaro and others will likely make this update available soon.

Please note the second paragraph.
