Do you mean Desktop Environments?

EDIT: OP has changed the title of the post since. Regardless, thank you OP for the confirmation/clarification! FWIW, I really like Eylenburg's resource on this.

Yes I would like to learn about those.

The Archwiki has a nice list with a simple explanation for various DEs: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Desktop_environment

I don’t even use arch (btw), but damn its wiki is so well done!

Don’t take this the wrong way, but that’s such a broad question. If you made a comprehensive list, there could be hundreds.

I suggest you find some Linux newbie websites.
