[I think you forgot your question is answered here.](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/uconsole-os-images/10432) [Or here.](https://github.com/clockworkpi/uConsole/wiki/How-uConsole-CM4-OS-image-made)

Better yet, why bother going vanilla when [an image provided by the community is good as stock Raspberry Pi OS?](https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/bookworm-6-6-y-for-the-uconsole-and-devterm/13235/291)

Is there an official Github repo for the Community OS image?

The images are to large to host on GitHub.

No, there isn’t a repo for the OS on GitHub, per se. [But there is one for the kernel used for the ClockworkPi 3.14-based devices.](https://github.com/ak-rex/clockworkpi-linux) You probably mean that, so I linked it for you. (The link to the repo is also in the Bookworm question, by the way.)

Just to clarify - what is a difference between Bookworm and ParrotHome?

Bookworm is just Debian 12 Bookworm with the drivers and a few theming items (wallpapers, splash screen…)

ParrotHome is more of a daily driver version of ParrotSec that is comparable to Kali OS.

Do I need to change something for uConsole or `ClockworkPi-CM4-Bookworm-6.6.41.img.xz` will work by default?

by default its set to the uConsole so nothing is required.  
you can remove the DevTerm stuff (fan, Printer) by `sudo apt remove devterm*`
