I am a new ubuntu user, I installed gnome yesterday, and faced some issues such as :couldn't change my desktop wallpaper, couldn't right click on desktop, all desktop icons became hidden. As i say before i know very little about ubuntu, and i dont know what job gnome actually does!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOME . I don't think there are supposed to be desktop icons on gnome. – Bruni May 23 '16 at 07:02

1As you can remove it and replace it by something else - it isn't a critical component. I hope that helps you ... while i am still struggling with the 'question' ;) – dufte May 23 '16 at 09:09

What did you have before Gnome? You may need to revert to whatever you were using.... – belacqua May 29 '16 at 00:12

Gnome is a desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, wallpapers , desktop widgets ...
It's important to have at least one desktop environment installed but Gnome is not the only choice.
You can remove gnome and install one of those. for details about desktop environments and how to install them look here.

You don't need a desktop environment if a terminal is enough for you. – David Foerster May 24 '16 at 11:07
