Also, unless you use Armbian Bionic, I believe you have to install your own desktop window manager. Since I'm using Armbian Stretch, I installed Xfce and set it to startup on boot, again with armbian-config.

So, just to clarify.
I boot Armbian Bionic from the MicroSD? Would I find the "armbian-config utility" in the menus?
I'm not a total noob but i am not exactly a tech savvy linux user either? This is still a bit of a learning curve for me?
