-description: GNOME is a community striving to create an elegant and modern desktop,
- free for everyone. Since 1997 the project has developed essential applications such
- as Text Editor, Music, Videos, Files, Boxes, Software and more which many linux
- users are familiar with. Behind the scenes, the GNOME community also develops and
- contributes to core low level technologies such as GLib, GTK+, Flatpak, Wayland
- and more. Over the last decade GNOME has released three major versions and since
- GNOME 3 the project has released new content on a bi-annually basis and is consumed
- by a large set of distributions and users.
