# GNOME shell
The GNOME shell is a popular open source desktop environment for Linux.
There is a vast app ecosystem built using its modern Adwaita design language, enabling a unique consistency across the platform.
GNOME apps strictly follow the philosophy "do one thing and do it well", and using them requires little technical knowledge.
You can find more information in the [GNOME Human Interface Guidelines](https://developer.gnome.org/hig/index.html).

# Adwaita
Adwaita is not only a design language, but a [C API](https://gnome.pages.gitlab.gnome.org/libadwaita/doc/1.5/) providing user interface elements, so called _widgets_, for native GNOME apps, built on top of the powerful [GTK widget toolkit](https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/).
It offers various UI elements that support pointer, touch, and keyboard input out of the box, and allows the creation of accessible apps without further configuration.
There are modern controls, containers, navigation design patterns and elements for visual feedback, working great on different types of screens, including phones.
