Hello @Octo1967 !

When you are logged into OctoPrint you see a wrench at the top bar.
This is for the OctoPrint settings.

There you find a point called Plugin Manager where you can install, dis- and enable plugins and delete them.

You can have all of them, but some of them are so specific, they make no sense with other circumstances.

Generally, it's not recommended to run both at the same time - you don't want opening a particularly heavy webpage to interrupt an ongoing print.

That said, there's two ways to get the desktop image -

If you install those packages you should have everything the full image has.
It's not configured the same way.. but yeah those are "missing" in the lite image.
