GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment—the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system—entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.
GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.
The official pronunciation of the name is IPA: /gəˈnoʊm/, with a hard “G”, although /ˈnoʊm/ (as in the English word "gnome", with a silent "G") is also in common usage. The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, though this acronym is deprecated.[1]
