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.

    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.
