| Photon is just an event handler. It is a layer on top of the basic QNX message passing system. However, most people think of Photon as a window system with buttons, mouse cursor, etc, even though technically all that stuff is handled by higher level programs (window manager, input device driver, widget library).
I guess the closest analogy to the Linux world would be Gnome or KDE.
