FINALLY someone does a tutorial on installing xfce without using the xubuntu-desktop package!

Do we really need a tutorial for a single command? apt install xfce4 is not a tutorial! Besides this implies you have the Gnome DE installed (which I don’t, I have budgie) if you dont then you will wonder why /etc/gdm3/custom.conf doesnt exist!

You’d ten-tuple your engagement and xfce4 installs if you added a quick tutorial on how to go back to the 18.04 LTS default windows manager. Thanks!
