A bit of a followup. I installed a JeOS image on the Raspberry PI 3B. Then I added the packages that were for the raspberrypi. This included some X11 packages. After that, a GUI login and a GUI user environment worked. So perhaps an image with the raspberrypi packages pre-installed would make sense.
Sorry I don't remember the package names. I don't have the device near me. I can check this evening. I just wanted to follow up that there is a solution.
