DE or Desktop Environments are terms used in relation to Linux. DE’s are simply Graphical User Interface (GUI). GUI assist the user in using the computer without the knowledge of commands or any programming language.
A desktop environment typically consists of windows, gadgets, folders, icons, wallpapers, screensavers and toolbars. Desktop Environment is a way for the user to interact with the computer and make the task easy for him.
Some famous Desktop Environments are KDE, GNOME, Xfce, CDE, etc. So before downloading and trying out any Linux distro just first see what DE it has and whether you are comfortable with it or not.
My favorites are KDE and GNOME. KDE stands for K Desktop Environment. And GNOME stands for GNU Object Model Environment.
My two favorite distros are Ubuntu and openSUSE. If you are installing Ubuntu then you’ll get GNOME Desktop Environment by default. And if you are installing openSUSE then you’ll get KDE by default.
Keep on trying and keep on learning, thats the best way to learn, isn’t it.
