@lvsl123 …is right. Step back and very carefully consider why you are now planning to do this. Then, let this guide your plans. Identify the specific objectives in terms of: “If [X], it would be perfect.”
(Background: the “C#” language project is an offshoot of “Delphi,” whose original developers Microsoft “spirited away” for a princely sum. It is, however, very much a “Windows” technology, part of the “dot-NET” framework. Yes, “dot-NET” runs on p-machines, but it’s still explicitly focused on the Windows infrastructure.)

The difference between a Desktop Environment like XFCE for example is that it has a complete set of tools and complementing software such as textile editors such as featherpad or mousepad. Where as a window manager like dwm or Window-make docent have all of the tools,flash and complementing tools as well as systems management utilities for manageing cups and package management i.e. Synaptics and of course there is always apt or nala which is a front end for apt.
I can remember when I first came to GNU/Linux I knew that i was in fact headed towards a steep learning curve however, I still chose to go forward because I knew that I'd become a better computer user and further of technology as well. I was also very anxious because I only knew the "Windows way of doing things) or point and click attitude.
as for your gaming needs it al depends upon the brand and model of your gpu, certain distributions will have extra utilities to assist you in downloading and installing the appropriate drivers for your GPU. I know that both Ubuntu and PopOs are recommended by steam and other gaming platforms.

This makes little to no sense at all. The DE/GUI has no bearing on what applications are on the system, period. Icons or shortcuts aren't applications, and (AGAIN) this has little to no bearing to what the OP originally asked.

This is 100% absolutely wrong. The GPU drivers won't magically make a game work, and only SOME games are supported by Steam on Linux. You seem to have a habit of making posts that border on nonsense. Is there a reason?

C# is not an "offshoot" of Delphi. The main thing Delphi and C# have in common is the developer who worked on both languages, as well as j++ (Anders Hejlsberg).
