About GNOME

So, what’s GNOME all about? It’s an international project that aims to create a full desktop environment using entirely free software. Think of it as the user-friendly interface that sits on top of your computer's operating system.

This project doesn’t just stop at pretty themes; it also includes frameworks for software development, picking application software for your desktop, and managing how applications launch and handle files.

The History of GNOME

GNOME comes from the GNU Project and works well with different Unix-like operating systems, especially Linux. It even has ties with Java Desktop System in Solaris!

You might be curious about its name—originally, it stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, but we don't really use that anymore. What’s important is that GNOME focuses on making things simple and easy to use so everything just works smoothly.
