    DE is for “Desktop environment”. Most distro let you choose from quite a few. The two best known one are Gnome and KDE, i believe. But there are many more.

    “Desktop environment” might just be two words without much meaning to you. If that the case, in the linux context, a desktop environment is basically the GUI to your computer: file explorer, desktop, taskbar, general setting manager and so on.
