GNOME is a computer desktop environment. It was designed for GNU/Linux, but many other operating systems can use it too. GNOME aims to provide an easy way to use a computer. GNOME is a free software project. It was made because people were questioning whether KDE is free. Some people think that GNOME is better than KDE because it is more easy to use GNOME compared to KDE. But, some people also think that KDE is better than GNOME because KDE looks better.
