GNOME

Unix desktop environment

GNOME is a desktop environment for Linux and Unix-like operating systems, providing a graphical user interface with windows, icons, and applications.

Originally an acronym for GNU Network Object Model Environment, it's now treated as a proper name.

Ubuntu ships with GNOME by default. (Lowercase gnome is the mythical creature.)
