@Terrance's comment is spot on. Follow the instructions at for installing the server.

On step 5 (Install a desktop), I elected to use the regular desktop instead of one of the lightweight ones, so I just ran sudo apt install xubuntu-desktop. So far, the Raspberry Pi 4 seems up to the task.

I could not get VNC working, so I instead installed xrdp and used a Remote Desktop client to connect to it. When I connected, it wanted me to finish some setup tasks, and that might be why it was being difficult with VNC.
