What is Gnome?
GNOME (GNU Network Object Model Environment), on the other hand, is free-of-charge software characterized by its simplicity and attractiveness. The developers tried to do everything possible to make it look good; hence they pay attention to details like fonts rendering or icons design. Unlike KDE which allows endless customization options for power users or enthusiasts, GNOME follows one simple rule: less is more! That’s why Gnome shell offers minimum but sufficient number of extensions enhancing basic functionality. By default Ubuntu uses Unity but has also adopted Gnome since version 18.04 LTS while Fedora Workstation edition ships with stock Gnome installation.
