If anyone wants to give an ELI5 or a link to a video that ELI5 I’d be incredibly thankful

I swear that all the stuff I find is like super in depth technical stuff that just loses me in no time flat

In short it’s essentially a protocol that defines what type of requests must be sent between applications and a compositor.

I don’t know what compositor is and at this point I’m too afraid to ask

It draws on the screen what programs and the desktop environment tell it to – including opacity, tiling, clicks, drags, updates, etc. Everything you visually perceive on the monitor is the product of the compositor.
