From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I usually don't use it, but everytime I get a chance to use GNOME with a touch screen I'm always impressed at how well it works. The onscreen keyboard could use some work though.
When I had my Pinephone I was really tempted to use Gnome as my DE. There were just some really small annoyances and it would have been perfect. Made me wish that Purism had thrown their weight directly at Gnome instead of making Phosh.
TBF I think that Phosh did a great job for small screens. I didn't try GNOME on neither my PP nor Mobian OnePlus 6
