If you wonder why there are images with and without a desktop environment its because most people use these board as actual development boards (so they code their own interface and some dont need a gui at all), others use them as micro-servers (again not needing a GUI at all), others use them to control other devices as home automation controllers (in most cases automated and/or not needing a local interface, controlled remotelly), there is also the Kodi people wich only use Kodi itself as "desktop" with nothing behind it...learn something new every day |
