unless I'm confusing it for something else

You are. What you're talking about are virtual desktops or virtual workspaces.

I said "desktop environments", which is a specific thing in Linux. It's the GUI and suite of tools that come with it. They all tend to have a usecase in mind and different philosophy. There's Gnome, KDE Plasma, xfce, lxde, Budgie, Cinnamon, Sway, and a whole bunch more that I can't remember.

KDE Plasma exist also for Windows and even MacOS. https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/khelpcenter/fundamentals/install.html

Well now, that's certainly something I didn't expect!

Although the site for the Windows installer doesn't work

So it's basically themes and preset packs of apps?

No, nothing like that. It can seem that way from a quick glance, but there's so much more under the surface.

It's such a large change under the surface that sometimes the exact same system, but with a different DE is considered its own distro, but usually they're called spins.
