GNOME Alternatives
GNOME is described as 'An easy and elegant way to use your computer, GNOME is designed to help you have the best possible computing experience' and is a leading desktop environment in the os & utilities category. There are more than 25 alternatives to GNOME for a variety of platforms, including Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac and FreeBSD apps. The best GNOME alternative is KDE Plasma, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like GNOME are Xfce, Cinnamon, Hyprland and MATE.

GNOME alternatives are mainly Desktop Environments, but if you're looking for Window Managers or Application Launchers you can filter on that. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to GNOME.
