Terminal and all that other shit, I follow you. Command lines. Fine. I don’t know what the Linux terms mean, but I understand command lines etc… But GNOME… what the fuck is it?

It calls the graphical libraries that make your GUI, like GDI32.dll, User32.dll in Windows. It creates the graphical subsystem. You have a shell .dll that runs your windows desktop and keeps track of all the links on it to your drives, programs and system files for you to click on. Gnome creates the same environment in Ubuntu, gives you all your windows and folders and nifty things you click on instead of typing in a box.
