Simple and Easy to Use

Every part of GNOME has been designed to make it simple and easy to use. The Activities Overview is a simple way to access all your basic tasks. A press of a button is all it takes to view your open windows, launch applications, or check if you have new messages. Having everything in one convenient place means you don’t have to learn your way around a maze of different technologies.


Intuitive and Efficient

GNOME provides a focused working environment that helps you get things done. It is packed with features that will make you more productive: a powerful search feature that helps you access all your work from one place; side-by-side windows that make it easy to view several documents at the same time; seamless integration with online accounts which allows you to access all your data in one place; and a messaging system that comfortably deals with notifications, letting you quickly respond in place or return to them in a convenient time.
