Desktop Enviromements

According to the Wikipedia Article (opens in a new tab) for Desktop Environments, here's what they stand for:

In computing, a desktop environment (DE) is an implementation of the desktop metaphor made of a bundle of programs running on top of a computer operating system that share a common graphical user interface (GUI), sometimes described as a graphical shell. The desktop environment was seen mostly on personal computers until the rise of mobile computing. Desktop GUIs help the user to easily access and edit files, while they usually do not provide access to all of the features found in the underlying operating system. Instead, the traditional command-line interface (CLI) is still used when full control over the operating system is required.

In simpler terms, a desktop environment is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that you interact with. Icons, menus, menu bars and all the visual things come under a DE.
