Hi @MellowCobra our default images, include lxqt and xfce examples that are ready to go… Which image did you install? https://forum.beagleboard.org/tags/c/faq/19/latest-images

That’s the console image, it’s up to you, to install what-ever you want!

Feel free to grab a pre-generated lxqt (buster) or xfce (bullseye) from here: https://forum.beagleboard.org/tags/c/faq/19/latest-images
