That's it! Reboot, sign in & you have the beginning of your own Xfce desktop to make your very own and all the while on a very secure system.

If for some reason the X system errors out (in my experience does happen from time to time), check the .xsession start up file. "doas nano .xsession", Re-enter exec startxfce4, save, exit & reboot.
