GNOME

The default desktop environemnt for the AerynOS live environment and for installs using lichen is GNOME. We utilise Wayland display server protocol and do not offer X11 (or any fork of X11).

GNOME has been chosen as the default environment due to our familiarity with the GNOME software stack and therefore our ability to maintain it whilst we work on fleshing out the AerynOS tooling an infrastructure.

It is recommended to install GNOME using lichen, rather than adding to an existing install.
