What is GNOME?

You might be wondering what GNOME is all about. Well, GNOME is a big project aimed at creating a complete desktop environment. This means it's the graphical user interface (GUI) that sits on top of your computer’s operating system. And guess what? It’s made entirely from free software!

The Goals of GNOME

This project isn’t just about looking good; it includes developing software frameworks, selecting applications for the desktop, and managing everything from launching apps to handling files and windows. Talk about being comprehensive!

The Origins of GNOME

GNOME is part of the GNU Project and works with various Unix-like operating systems—especially Linux—and even features in Solaris as part of the Java Desktop System. Originally, GNOME stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, but that's not commonly used anymore.

Simplicity & Usability First

The main focus of the GNOME project is all about simplicity and usability. They really want things to “just work” without any hassle.
