Exploring System76's New Rust Based Desktop Environment
What exactly is a Linux &quot;desktop environment&quot;?<p>Does it contain a window manager or is that fully separate?
Is it the &quot;explorer&quot;, shell, menu, dock, what not?
(But didn&#x27;t that at least in part reside in a window manager)?<p>Is it libraries that applications that are to be executed under the DE?<p>If it is using the GNOME libraries (GTK???) ? 
Will GNOME applications be native?
