I believed it was a "good ole" systemd thing, but systemctl afaik seems
not to behind this. I know wayland has replaced X but there was X
libraries sill in the distro isn't there? How do I boot a gui? I believe
xfce runs on X. I see no gnome, or even kde.
I am probably behind and I am no developer, so idk what's up. what
should I do?
Are you deliberately booting into a command line interface then
separately starting a graphical user interface for a reason, or habit?
If you installed an XFCE spin, I'd expect it to just work.
But, do you get anywhere doing "startxfce4" instead of "startx"?
NB: I haven't used XFCE for a very long time, I found it way too
primitive back then, so I've not kept up with it.
