MC2 Post 1594 Linux Users Have a Choice: 8 Linux Desktop Environments

From:   http://www.howtogeek.com

There’s no one true desktop environment for Linux. Unlike competing operating systems like Windows, Linux users have a choice of many different desktop environments, all with their own styles and strengths.

You can install one of these desktop environments after installing your Linux distribution and switch between desktop environments from the login screen. You can also choose to install a Linux distribution that comes with the desktop environment. For example, you can get Ubuntu in many different flavors.

Unity
Gnome
KDE
Xfce
Cinnamon
Mate
LXCE

Xmonad and More

This isn’t a complete list — not by a long shot. There are many more niche desktop environments and window managers you could use, including Xmonad, a tiling window manager. Tiling window managers attempt to make your life easier by automatically arranging windows in tiles on your screen, saving you the trouble of dragging them around and allowing you to quickly rearrange them with keyboard shortcuts.

It’s a good example of just how different from each other Linux desktop environments can be.
