Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly.
Xfce: quite similar to Mate, but it has nothing to do with it or GNOME. It is also lightweight and you can also rearrange the panels and it's contents to what you like, but by default it has a top panel with a windowsy-like interface, but with a sort of dock on the bottom. Has bit more options and it is beloved by many becasue it is meant to be a modular system, meaning that the panels, window manager, panel widgets and other parts are individual programs that in principle can be replaced by others. https://xfce.org/.

Mate: You already know that GNOME 3 brought that controversial new interface. Well, free software is about owning your software, and people who didn't liked GNOME 3 took GNOME 2 and kept developing as a separate branch that aims to keep the spirit of GNOME 2 alive. Default interface is a top bar with some menus and a bottom bar with the taskbar, but much like Plasma you can change those panels and add/remove some stuff to make a windows clone or something akin to you. It is quite lightweight and runs well on old and slow PCs. https://mate-desktop.org/.

Plasma Workspaces is the umbrella term for all graphical environments provided by KDE.
Plasma: Made by the KDE Community, is the competition of GNOME because not only has a big ecosystem of companion apps tailored to feel integrated with the environment like GNOME, but it is the opposite of it: While GNOME has few options, the minimal amount of buttons, does not like that you apply a theme and uses the GTK graphical library, Plasma has all the options, apps allow you to add and remove buttons and change their place, allows endless customization, and uses the Qt graphical library. By default is very windows-like, but again, the customization can go as far as imitating macOS, a hybrid, or even your own thing. https://kde.org/plasma-desktop/.
