I believed it was a "good ole" systemd thing, but systemctl afaik seems

xfce runs on X. I see no gnome, or even kde.

      I am probably behind and I am no developer, so idk what's up. what
should I do?
Are you deliberately booting into a command line interface then
separately starting a graphical user interface for a reason, or habit?

If you installed an XFCE spin, I'd expect it to just work.

But, do you get anywhere doing "startxfce4" instead of "startx"?

NB:  I haven't used XFCE for a very long time, I found it way too
primitive back then, so I've not kept up with it.

Yes I always boot to a cli and rarely use a gui. I want it there right now to try, I will try using a server. I have considered have a remote ssh and rsync and I think using it in a terminal windows to try and having a browser there might be a bit easier. If I go through with it.
