GNOME 2 was released on June 26, 2002 at the Linux Symposium in Ottawa. [8] Starting with GNOME 2.4, a timed release cadence was adopted, which called for a new version to be released roughly every six months. This effectively resulted in new stable GNOME versions being released every September and March of any given year.

GNOME 2 was released in June 2002 [59] [60] and was very similar to a conventional desktop interface, featuring a simple desktop in which users could interact with virtual objects such as windows, icons, and files. GNOME 2 started out with Sawfish as its default window manager, but later switched to Metacity in GNOME 2.2.
The MATE desktop environment, a fork of GNOME 2, is comparable to Xfce in its use of RAM and processor cycles, but is often considered more as an alternative to other lightweight desktop environments. For a while, GNOME and KDE enjoyed the status of the most popular Linux desktop environments; later, other desktop environments grew in popularity.
Metacity / m ə ˈ t æ s ɪ t i / [1] was the default window manager used by the GNOME 2 desktop environment [2] [3] until it was replaced by Mutter in GNOME 3. [4] It is still used by GNOME Flashback, a session for GNOME 3 that provides a similar user experience to the Gnome 2.x series sessions.
