Yes it is confusing. But the link I posted literally is the first hit I get when I search on Google. Have you tried that at least?

Also, with RPi it is really easy to set up a virtual frame buffer with the correct dimensions. With any other device, like the mini PC you're using, it is exceedingly hard. You'll need to set up Xorg to use a frame buffer and then an .xinitrc again with a frame buffer to get this working. I have been using a mini PC for about two years and in the end I gave up because a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 Gb just performs better. Even with the virtual frame buffer and using a wired network, there were a lot of hick ups in the virtual display and things like plate solving just didn't perform very well. I had to wait for over a minute for a solution to come and with an RPi it is about 2 seconds. Not kidding!!!

My advice: use the mini PC for something else and get you a Raspberry Pi 4. That works and it works really well. There are scripts that can help you to install Ubuntu and KStars and they work. If you don't know Linux very well then a mini PC is just too hard. I have been using Linux for over 20 years and found it hard to configure my mini PC. Just my $0.02 :)
