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.
