Yes, that seems to be safer.

Now that I think more of it, ubuntu is running
systemd, no?
Right, that explains it (the machine had 14.04 which was too old for
example to install google-chrome (which I needed to access certain
webpages of my university)
What I proposed applies to sysvinit-based systems like
devuan et al. NOT
to systemd-based systems like ubuntu

I have absolutely no experience with systemd-based
distros, but this
makes me think you would need to look deeper into how systemd starts
display-managers and so on…
I tried, but currently it is beyond me (I admit I have cursed the
decision to move to systemd because it makes things much more opaque).
Debian is still sticking to sysvinit?
