Removing rhgb (Red Hat Graphical Boot) simply allows the boot messages to be shown
as opposed to hiding them. X is still started normally.
When talking about starting X from the terminal I was under the impression you changed
the default.target from point to /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target to pointing to
/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target
This would result in booting to a text based login. From there on would login and
manually
start X by issuing startxfce4 for example
FWIW, I just booted my F31Xfce VM with no "desktop" file and without rhgb on the
kernel
line and it booted just fine to the Graphical Login of lightdm.
