You don't use a desktop environment?...

  No, I use a tiling window manager.

    Is that not a desktop environment?

      It's one of the components of a desktop environment, but not a desktop environment itself: https://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-environment-vs-window-manager/ https://www.ghacks.net/2008/12/09/get-to-know-linux-desktop-...

      A quick comparison: think Linux Kernel (window manager) vs Linux Distribution (desktop environment). A window manager is part of a desktop environment. A desktop environment is usually made up of: - A window manager (i.e. kwin, xfwm, i3, etc.) - A file manager (i.e. Dolphin, Nautalis, etc.) - Other utilities, such as a network configuration tool, a print config tool, maybe a web browser, a calendar or PIM system, calculator, etc.
