I remembered that on a non-graphical system (actually I did a graphical install, but changed the runlevel to 3) was just to type in:
init 5
So I tried it and things seem to just hang. So I rebooted. Probably need to install more than just gnome on minimal to get gnome?

I've wondered myself what the systemd equivelant of changing runlevels is. I imagine that what you're looking for might be something like:
systemctl status graphical.target systemctl isolate graphical.target

What do you see after executing startx command?

just a wild guess: did you try "startx" instead?

Ah, startx. well I don't think it was installed as I typed in start and hit the tab and nothing completed. I have since done a reinstall and figured out how to 'properly' get gnome installed.

Did you hit tab twice?
If there are multiple possible completions, bash will only complete as far as it can. Which means if you’ve got something like $ ls /bin/start* /bin/start-pulseaudio-kde /bin/start-pulseaudio-x11 /bin/startx for example, then bash doesn’t know whether it should complete to startx or start-pulseaudio-*, so it does nothing.
If you hit tab twice, bash will show all the options.
Hope this helps,
James.

Kind of what I have experienced elsewhere and realize where I messed up. But I have moved on to doing a 'proper' graphical install and deleting lots of unneeded stuff.
