GNOME (/ɡəˈnm, ˈnm/),[7][8][9] originally an acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment,[10] is a free and open-source desktop environment for Linux and other Unix-like[11] operating systems.

Many major Linux distributions, including Debian, Fedora Linux, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux Enterprise distribute GNOME as their default desktop environment; it is also the default in Oracle Solaris, a Unix operating system.

GNOME is developed by the GNOME Project, which is composed of both volunteers and paid contributors, the largest corporate contributor being Red Hat.[12][13][14] It is an international project that aims to develop frameworks for software development, to program end-user applications based on these frameworks, and to coordinate efforts for the internationalization, localization, and accessibility of that software.

Since GNU is GNOME's first name, GNOME is officially pronounced "guh-NOME". However, many people pronounce GNOME as just "NOME" (like those short people from legend), nobody will hurt you if you find this pronunciation easier.
