But there is nothing to stop you using one of ayufan's other images, such as the minimal one, which should give you just the command line, and then you can whatever you want from that. Wink

I'm waiting for my Pinebook to arrive and would like some advice on what Linux image to start with.

I would like to run Debian Testing with an XFCE desktop.  Based on this post I would start with the minimal image from ayufan.  I'm comfortable doing this.  Where would I find this minimal image?

However, would it be possible to use?
