You may understand it perfectly well, but to some readers it's ambiguous. Adding the comma also helps it to be parsed correctly by machine translators, used by readers who do not have a version of the manual in their native language.
Unless the meaning is: There are several popular DEs called GNOME; Ubuntu uses one of them rather than Ubuntu uses a popular DE; it's called GNOME adding that comma has more pros than cons. -- P.9: Comma needed before "called GNOME" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/584964 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Manual Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual. Status in Ubuntu Manual: Invalid Bug description: Rev. 788 Prologue: What is Linux? section (p.9, PDF p.11) Type: grammar Final sentence needs a comma: "and uses one of the more popular graphical desktop environments[,] called GNOME." Without it the sentence suggests that there are several desktop environments called GNOME; ignoring versions, there's only one, isn't there? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
