Even though Oracle only sells server hardware running Solaris, there are
customers running Solaris on laptops and other systems with graphic
consoles. When I bring up Solaris 11.4 in VirtualBox, I get a Gnome
desktop. (I work on USB and boot, so I don't pay much attention to the
desktop and couldn't tell you what version of Gnome it is.)
