From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Your desktop handles Wayland, Xwayland, preinstalled apps, file management, some services and GUI integration, networking, Printing, Bluetooth, GPS (if available), cell data (if available)... so I would say it does in part come from the Desktop.
The Desktop is software which needs resources, gives access, reads and writes data,...
For example SELinux Confined Users break KDE, but not GNOME afaik
I don't think it does. The services and apps are all broken down into smaller chunks so there isn't going to be a clear desktop that's better. I haven't heard of any CVEs in KDE or gnome either so I'm not convinced that my desktop is a threat. For me the biggest threat is my web browser and physical security
