My first Single Board!
#1
Hey guys after a lengthy search for my first single board I settled on the Rock64 mostly because of the 4gb ram. I wish that it had wifi but a dongle works just as well and gives it a little more character. Anyways I just wanted to say hey and thank you for this board. 
It has been many years since I have used linux so I have some reading to do tonight. The wiki seems very informative. Smile Also I have some future plans to bring many more people into the single board world and I hope that this community will help and welcome them. 

I do have one question right now. I flashed my 64gb SD with jessie-minimal-rock64-0.5.15-136-arm64.img however it has no desktop enviroment. What is the easiest way for me to get a pretty looking and easy to use linux up and running quickly? Also security is a major issue. It must be safe. 

Thanks,
J
