Why single out GNOME? There are also KDE images, and of course, plenty of other DEs and WMs in the repos which you can always install.

The project founder uses GNOME and it says that GNOME is the desktop in various places including the project website and Wikipedia.

Other options are available though and there is even a KDE live bootable image. I use Chimera Linux with KDE.
