You thought that having icons everywhere on your desktop with a beautiful start menu was the better and only way to interact with your computer? Many Linux distributions, and many Operating Systems (OS) in general, like Windows or macOS, have their own desktop environment. It’s basically a set of icons, windows, toolbars, widgets, wallpaper and other functionalities which give to the users “easy” ways to do what they want. These desktops are meant to be used by everybody.
