That partially worked!
After changing the unit file and running `sudo systemctl start power-
profiles-daemon`, I am kicked out of RDP and cannot Remote Login.
However, if I SSH in and run `sudo systemctl restart gdm3`, I am able to
Remote Login, and the daemon is active.
The same behavior after a reboot, I must run SSH in and run `sudo
systemctl restart gdm3` to be able to Remote Login.
$ sudo systemctl status power-profiles-daemon

To get this to work I ran:
```
sudo apt install power-profiles-daemon=0.21-1ubuntu2 # -> which hanged
sudo pkill -9 -f power-profiles-daemon
sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/power-profiles-daemon.service
# -After=multi-user.target display-manager.target
# +Wants=multi-user.target
# +After=display-manager.target graphical.target
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl start power-profiles-daemon
# Go kicked out of RDP/Remote Login
```
SSH:
```
sudo systemctl restart gdm3
```
Back in RDP/Remote Login:
```
sudo dpkg --configure -a
# Which finished the install cleanly.
```
