Ah yes, the ancient ritual: you install one “harmless” package - and boom, 287 dependencies later your server’s now a Kubernetes node with a GUI. Meanwhile, Windows admins are like “just reboot it.” We, however, must now pray to the logs. 🛐 Debugging starts at dawn.
Users voted: never trust “minimal install.”

You mean you ignored the full screen of clear documentation and just went, yeah please install everything including X...
You can probably fix it with
apt remove <trivial package> && apt autoremove
Read the messages though.
