@ -251,3 +251,5 @@ However, both of these distros work great if you want GNOME. It's a nice desktop
But since system Xorg seems to work fine on other distros, Debian 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 look like the ideal choices. I could never get Xfce VNC to work in 20.04 containers and could never figure out why. But at least 18.04 works, which is pretty similar to 20.04 and still has a few years of support left. Ubuntu has more stuff pre-installed, including snapd (with lxd pre-installed) and SSH server (with password authentication disabled tho), and a pre-made `ubuntu` user you can use right away. While Debian is slimmer but may need a little more set up.
openSUSE 15.2 is also a fairly nice option; you just need to add the custom xstartup config, but it has a nice openSUSE-themed pre-configured Xfce desktop with whisker menu and task bar on the bottom.
Note that this isn't a tutorial, but if you're installing VNC, you should create a user (don't use root), enable and use vncserver-virtuald, and uninstall any screensavers. You don't want xscreensaver wasting cpu on drawing a nice animation that nobody sees.
