Hey, I just know enough to be dangerous. I think the path of least resistance right now is to use the Debian Bookworm Lite image and install the desktop environment that you want on top of it.

Hi, everyone!
I have cooked these images for uConsole CM3, CM4 and CM5 variants.

It currently supports Jammy, Bookworm, and Trixie builds for all CM models. In total there are 24 build variants, accounting for the different preinstalled desktops.

Hello everyone, I recently received my UConsole and I wanted to ask if there is an OS image that is commonly agreed upon to be the most stable/fast? I am planning on utilizing the microSD port to have multiple OS flavors on multiple smaller sized cards, but I also want to use a high-capacity card as a “master” drive with my daily driver OS. For the time being I have tested the official OS build as well as the Kali build, I had limited success with Kali so I am sticking with the main OS for now. Happy Gregorian New Year, by the way!

Rex’s Debian Bookworm is essentially the same as the “official” OS, but it’s not outdated, can be upgraded properly, and doesn’t have bugs/issues with battery charging and some other things, unlike the official OS. 😉

> Don’t post in this thread, refer to this thread ! UPDATE: 6.6.78 Image Updated image, firmware, kernel, and tweaks to help the CM5 work better in the hardware. This image does not need any of the tweaks below. This image the FS will not auto expand, with people having problem with the sd card on the CM5 I thought best to leave it out for now. If you have problems with your sd card try adding sdhci.debug\_quirks2=4 to you cmdline.txt file. UPDATE: CM5 Audio Now Available! CM5 audio is here! Ker…
There are lots of others, of course, depending on the flavor of Linux you like. Most are linked in relatively active posts in this forum, so searching should find them. Besides Kali, I’ve seen Arch, PostmarketOS (which seems popular among those who got the 4G cellular and want to try to use it like a “phone”), Parrot (which I think was a version of some other flavor of Linux for pentesting?), Ubuntu (possibly several different builds, I forget), and probably a few others I’m not remembering. Chances are if there’s one you’re interested in, a search would turn it up here. And some people have posted a lot of detail about how they created their OS builds so that info could probably be used and adapted to get other, different versions of Linux working as well if you’re comfortable with that sort of thing, (I’m not, but I’m glad others are!)
