Thanks for that clarification, Castalla!  That helps shed some
perspective on what I've seen so far.  For my #1 Pi, I think you're
right:  Raspbian will be a more robust OS to suit my goal to have a
Media PC-like experience.

Now, the remaining part is:  How do I get a SqueezePlay-like, "windowed"
player to run on a Raspbian Desktop.  I read something from our guru
Ralphy about builds for "Linux Frame Buffer" and others for X11 support
but I'm not sure what these are.  I didn't find the older package he

that indicated an X11 Supported version.  Not sure if that's what I need
or not.  I'm currently running the default, NOOBS Raspbian that came
with my Raspberry Pi 4B from Canakit.

Thanks for all you guys do!
