October 16, 2025Oct 16 Hi everyone, I'm using the Orange Pi Zero 3 and would really appreciate a lightweight desktop image with just the XFCE desktop, a web browser, and basic tools (like file manager, terminal, etc.) with video acceleration. The current Armbian desktop image works, but it includes a lot of software I don’t need. I’m looking for something more minimal — just enough for light use and a faster experience. Does anyone have (or know how to build) a stripped-down XFCE image for this board? Thanks in advance!
October 17, 2025Oct 17 ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero3 BRANCH=current RELEASE=trixie BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ replace BRANCH with edge if you prefer more recent kernel. replace RELEASE with noble if you prefer Ubuntu flavour. remove BUILD_MINIMAL=yes to get the choice to build a standard cli image instead of minimal/iot.
