      I thought Unix was kinda like an operating system? Does Windows not count?

        Basically, nowadays Unix (or more formal POSIX) is a standard for operating systems to follow. Most modern operating systems are either derived from Unix (modern MacOS and Solaris), inspired by it (Linux and open-source BSDs) or at least POSIX-compatible (Haiku). Windows is neither of this - being monopoly they basically don’t need to follow a standard when they can force everyone to implement their solution.

        So yeah, Unix is an OS and Windows doesn’t count.

        It means desktop environment and window manager respectively. Windows has only one (it being the default) and is not unix, so you should probably post this elsewhere.
