<a href="https://www.gnome.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">GNOME – Simple, beautiful, elegant.</a> - The One of the hottest DE (Desktop Environment) will be now added officially in Ubuntu upcoming release Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail.
Till now,most of the Ubuntu users who liked GNOME Environment had to <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/adding-ppas-in-ubuntu.61390">Adding PPAs in Ubuntu</a> to get GNOME Environment.Unfortunately,Ubuntu 12.04 LTS users were unable to feel the GNOME Environment as only Gnome-shell was available in the Ubuntu 12.04 GNOME Remix version.
I am GNOME Environment user & due to its smooth/flexible environment & easily tweakable Interface I have always loved it more than Officially Shipped Environment "Unity".
In Ubuntu 12.10 Quental Quetzal,It was possible to get entire GNOME Environment using it's official Gnome 3 PPA from launchpad,but the LTS version(12.04) kinda missed it.
Only "Gnome-Shell" don't really gives you GNOME DE feel, right ?
Ubuntu has announced two versions for upcoming release :
- Ubuntu GNOME
- Ubuntu UNITY
Now,If you're well versed with Linux Operating Systems & Environments then you would've known that pre-installed applications like Calendar,Calculator,Orca,Games & Movie Player are of GNOME,so why not get entire GNOME, right ?
Ubuntu GNOME will be shipped with GNOME 3.6 & not 3.8 - unfortunately, most of the Ubuntu 12.10 users were using GNOME 3.6, so we ofcourse demand for the upgrade !
As of now GNOME 3.8 ain't stable - Ubuntu can't ship it with Gnome3 PPA.However, you can add PPA in Ubuntu 13.04 if you wanna upgrade GNOME DE to version 3.8

Finally,
I am happy that I don't have to purge PPAs & then upgrade the distro & then re-add & update the PPAs.
But I feel that this will decrease the popularity of UNITY Desktop Environment,because from my experience GNOME is a lot matured & faster than UNITY.
Whatever it is;
Good Job, Ubuntu 👍
