Software applications built with the GNOME philosophy in mind From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The GNOME Core Applications are a software suite of approximately 30 software applications that are packaged as part of the standard free and open-source GNOME desktop environment. GNOME Core Applications have the look and feel of the GNOME desktop, and often utilize the Adwaita design language. Some applications have been written from scratch and others are ports.
