I'm trying to troubleshoot a Conky (transparent background) issue, and am learning that Linux (Debian Bookworm in my case) has any number of desktop managers, "compositors", GUI managers/tweaks, etc.? Any or all of these things could be impacting my issue.? So I need to learn more about these UI applications.? I've seen names like Gnome, LXQT, Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie, X windows, PiCom, Compton, etc. etc.
?
Is there somewhere that does a good job of explaining how all these things work together to create a Linux UI?? What are the differences and why are so many different ones needed/desired?
?
