LOL.  I suppose that's a solution.  However, I occasionally do some
browsing when Googling answers to problems on those machines so being
able to fire up the gui easily is sort of a must.

Every desktop environment comes with an starting application/script which can be
used to start the environment. (startkde, gnome-session, xfce4-session, …)

So you don’t necessarily need a display manager

This is true. Guess I'm just a creature of habit.
