This article will explain in detail the sample analysis of GNOME Linux desktop, Xiaobian thinks it is quite practical, so share it with you as a reference, I hope you can gain something after reading this article.

GNOME is the default desktop for most modern Linux distributions and is clean, simple, and well organized.

The GNOME project is rightly the darling of the Linux desktop. It started as a free and open source desktop alternative to proprietary desktops (including KDE at the time) and has grown strongly ever since. GNOME takes GTK+ developed by the GIMP project and develops it as a powerful generic GTK framework. The project pioneered user interfaces, challenged preconceptions about how desktops "should" look, and provided users with new paradigms and options.

GNOME is widely used as the default desktop in most major modern Linux distributions, including RHEL, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu. If your distribution doesn't offer a version of it, you can install GNOME from the repository. Before doing this, however, note that in order to provide a full desktop experience, this installs many GNOME apps along with the desktop. If you are using other desktops, you may find redundant applications (two PDF readers, two media players, two file managers, etc.). If you only want to try out the GNOME desktop, consider installing the GNOME distribution in a virtual machine such as GNOME Boxes.

GNOME Features

The GNOME desktop is clean, with a simple taskbar at the top and few icons in the system tray in the upper right corner. There are no desktop icons on GNOME, which is by design. If you are a user who likes to save anything on the desktop, then you may realize that the desktop gets cluttered periodically and, worse, that the desktop never shows up because your app obscures it.

GNOME solves two problems: there is no desktop (functionally), and new virtual workspaces are dynamically generated so you can run apps in full-screen mode. If you mess up the screen a lot, it may take some getting used to, but in fact, it's an improved workflow in every way. You'll learn how to keep files organized (or spread them out in your home directory) and switch between screens as quickly as you can on your phone.

Of course, not all apps are designed to run in full-screen mode, so if you prefer to switch windows with a single click, you can do so.

GNOME running on Debian

The GNOME philosophy celebrates Canonical's solutions to common tasks. In GNOME, you don't usually find "There are four ways to write Hui." You'll find one or two official ways to accomplish a task, and once you know them, you'll just have to remember them. It's pretty simple, but because it runs on Linux, it's also technically flexible (after all, you don't have to use GNOME apps just to run the GNOME desktop).

application menu

To access the app menu named Activities, click in the upper-left corner of the desktop. This menu will fill the entire screen, with a dock for common apps on the far left side of the screen, or icons for browsing apps in a grid. You can filter the list by browsing through the installed apps or typing the first few letters of the software and launch them.

GNOME Applications

GNOME is not just a desktop. It is a desktop with a rich set of integrated applications such as Gedit text editor, Evince PDF viewer, Web browser, image viewer, Nautilus file manager, and more. GNOME applications, such as the desktop itself, follow the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines, so the user experience is pleasant and consistent. Whether you use the GNOME desktop or not, you may use a GTK application, or you may use a GNOME application.

GNOME 3 and later

The GNOME project is progressing well, and there are several exciting projects (such as MATE and Cinnamon). It is popular, comfortable, and considered the epitome of Linux desktop.
