    Cockpit
    I do know about and use Cockpit with said virtual machine manager but I mostly use it as a shutdown/boot/restart app in my phone and a convenient service monitor and log viewer when troubleshooting.

    Wireguard/OpenVPN
    I really should try out Wireguard sometime but currently OpenVPN is fast enough for my bandwidth and I was already proficient with setting it up before Wireguard.
    The WebUI definitely looks useful.

      So… no need for a DE :) Wireguard is so damn good, even if you manual setup it’s just easier.

          Well, it’s not just about RAM. A DE comes with dozens of packages and things that get updated, startup delays and whatnot.
