That is not the familiar GNOME 2 . It is GNOME 3, which is totally
different, although its Fallback or Classic Mode looks much like GNOME
2 albeit less customisable and not compatible with GNOME  2 applets.

If you want the classic GNOME 2 experience, try Maté.

It's an option on the login screen. If you have your PC set to
automatically log in, you will not see this.
