If you want starting a graphic login at boot, you should install gdm, or lightdm (or even slim). In doubt, go for gdm or lightdm. Slim is suggested only if you need to have a very minimal installation. > Also, I'm getting warnings as I install stuff because the locale isn't > set, how do I fix that on the arm64 version of stretch?

The timezone file > contains "America/New_York" w/o the quotes. For the locale used in the current shell, check with the command "locale". If you want to know which locales have you installed, you can use "locale -a". If you want to install more locales and set the default locale, as root: "dpkg-reconfigure locales" And follow the istruction, that should made the trick. For the timezone it looks like the clock is correct. Just to be sure: $ TZ=EDT date should display your current time. If not, post here the output, (and the correct time, for comparing).
