GNOME is a desktop and development environment for Unix and Unix-like operating systems as part of the GNU Draft.

In August 1997, Richard Stallman started to develop a new desktop environment that fully embraces free software components. has been the most popular Unix desktop environment together. Developed using the GIMP Toolkit (GTK +) and its own GNOME libraries. It has gradually started to take up space not only for personal computers, but also for portable environments and is used as a user interface environment for Nokia's web (tablet) products. With GMEA, this platform is also transported to OpenMoko and Intel MID and other portable devices. GNOME supports more than 38 languages, of which at least 80% have been translated since version 3.20.
The GNOME project provides two things: a GNOME desktop environment, an easy and impressive desktop for users, and a GNOME development platform, a great framework for developing and combining an application with the rest of the desktop.
