Clarification on Xfce and IoT Images

Hello Everyone,

I have a question regarding the use of the Xfce (AM335x 11.8 2023-10-07 4GB eMMC Xfce Flasher) and IoT (AM335x 11.8 2023-10-07 4GB eMMC IoT Flasher) images.

Could someone please explain the differences between these two images?

I am using a BeagleBone Black Rev C board.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The IOT image does not give you a desktop, the Xfce one does.

If you flash the xfce image to the emmc, you are not left with much free space, so if you want to have a desktop it is better to run from the sd card.

There is/used to be a minimal image also which takes up less space than the iot image.
