What exactly means "GNOME" in this context?

[Kevin Reynolds]

When I "upgraded" from 14.04 to 16.04 via the software updater, it was a
complete disaster for me.  I lost Unity and have been using the Cinnamon
desktop environment since and am happy with it.  If Ubuntu is leaving
Unity it won't make a difference to me.  I'm staying with Cinnamon.

Live a good life.
If there are Gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are Gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no Gods, then you will be gone,
but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones.
Marcus Aurelius
