If you mean to install and run the Gnome desktop environment, no. macOS can run only its own desktop environment directly. If you want to run the Gnome desktop environment on your Mac you can do so using a virtual machine running Linux or install Linux on your Mac in a dual-boot setup. Running Linux is an excellent way to keep older Macs that Apple no longer supports running with an up-to-date and secure operating system. If on the other hand you mean can you run Gnome programs on macOS, yes. Take a look at Homebrew (https://brew.sh <https://brew.sh/>) and MacPorts (https://www.macports.org <https://macports.org/>). Many of the major Gnome applications like The Gimp, Inkscape, and GnuCash provide drag-and-drop macOS application bundles that you can simply install and use like any other macOS application. This mailing list for developers of applications in that last category who use a particular toolset, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk-osx. Regards, John Ralls
