Ubuntu GNOME (formerly Ubuntu GNOME Remix) is a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. As the 12.10 release was our first release, there are still a few minor issues, but we proudly recommend Ubuntu GNOME to anyone interested in using Ubuntu with the best of what GNOME has to offer. The final stable release was [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ZestyZapus/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuGNOME | 17.04 (Zesty Zapus)]], but it reached End of Life in January 2018.
