Well go for it then with the pre-installed qemu image. Problem is still
if people use the Debian Installer and choose wrong DM/WM. Additionally,
even with e.g. WindowMaker the desktop is slow, e.g. some Web Browsers,
(optimization needed) potentially resulting in a bad user experience?
Even Wine works (patched), but response is extremely slow for some
applications.
