did you give your user a password?
if not, swap to a tty via ctrl + fX (X for number) and do that
and check out the xfce wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Xfce

as for the wifi automatically connecting, there's a few other but i'd recommend networkmanager
you can install it from chroot if you haven't installed it post install and can't emerge stuff

Ethernet works so I can emerge stuff
I've tried making a wpa supplicant file in something like /etc/wpa_supplicany/wpa_supplicanr.conf
Used the wpa supplicant command with my interface but it won't connect
It simply exits without issue

i'm not familiar with wpa_supplicant, i think it's outdated and iwd is supposedly replacing that

it isn't outdated per say but i'd deffo prefer iwd
in my experience its more reliable and less annoying to use

I use wpa_supplicant. Be sure that the interface is set to start with rc-services. Also be sure that wpa_supplicant starts as well. wpa_passphrase is the command you will use to write into a file that supplicant reads. Make sure the interface is "UP" , run ip link show to double check the interface is up. wpa_supplicant is all I know how to use. I like that when I start my laptop up, it automatically checks to see if a familiar network is nearby to connect to.
wpa_passphrase ssid password >> /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf replace "ssid" with the network name (I assume this is case sensitive, correct me if I'm wrong.) and "password" will be your password for the network.
For my display, I use Xorg and dwm. So- that is my biased suggestion.

How exactly to I install iwd
The instructions can get confusing
I've got it installed
Added to startup
And running
Where to go from here
Any simple display window manager
Successfully connected via iwd
Thanks guys

Will it work with xfce ?

Will it work with xfce ?
no, they're different things. You can install both side-by-side though
so feel free to install xfce and have a working DE
then you can mess around with WMs to your heart's content
mystic urchin
Thanks

Xfce works
Except blank screen when the computer boots up
Till I have to try and then startxfce from there
Any reasons why
