You are clearly welcome to use Gnome. You run a Gnome compatible desktop.
But not everyone does. And Google doesn't mention Gnome, in spite of your
insistance that it does.
Anyhow, John: we have established that although Russ used gdebi GNOME GUI,
versions of gdebi exist for the rest of us. There are gdebi-core (CLI) and
gdebi KDE GUI. And Gnome doesn't come into Google Earth (though Gnome may do
a package for it, of course).
