  • Hi guys, a week ago I've received my atomic pi ad love it. My actual distro is your version of lxqt taken on your website, I had set tear free X11 script or video playing have horrible refresh, now is perfect. i have some trouble with networking, it seems that network manager not manage ethernet doesn't matter is not important. My questions is, can I install a vanilla lxqt like lubuntu for having a full desktop at the last version? If yes what are missing compared to your official image? Is possible to add missing things later? Thanks and congratulations for the great job you have done with this board, I think is not simple to make it at this lower cost.

    If you haven't yet installed a new version I'd copy the files from your existing install.
