What is a "DE"
Desktop Environment, i.e. the GUI and associated stuff you use to
interact with the system. You said you were using Xfce. You could try
KDE or Gnome among others as a test. If they're installed, it's just a
matter of selecting one from the login screen. Your other software
should continue to work.
