 ## Install a desktop environment on your Linux VM
 
-Most Linux VMs in Azure do not have a desktop environment installed by default. Linux VMs are commonly managed using SSH connections rather than a desktop environment, however there are several desktop environments that you can choose to install. Depending on your choice of desktop environment, it will consume up to 2 GB of disk space and take up to ten minutes to both install and configure all the required packages.

 The following example installs the lightweight [xfce4](https://www.xfce.org/) desktop environment on an Ubuntu VM. Commands for other distributions vary slightly (use `yum` to install on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and configure appropriate `selinux` rules, or use `zypper` to install on SUSE, for example).
