Only for Ubuntu 17.04 or older releases. Ubuntu GNOME was an official Ubuntu flavor that provides a GNOME desktop environment based on the Ubuntu distribution.

Ubuntu GNOME (formerly known as Ubuntu GNOME Remix) was an official Ubuntu flavor focused on providing a mostly pure GNOME desktop experience built from the Ubuntu repositories. Ubuntu GNOME includes the standard GNOME Shell desktop environment, with additional applications like Firefox, LibreOffice, and the Ubuntu Software Center.

In April 2017, it was announced that the distribution will be discontinued in favor of the standard Ubuntu distribution, which is switching from using Unity to GNOME as its desktop environment. Ubuntu GNOME 17.04 is the final stable release of the distribution.

The release notes for Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 LTS can be found here.
