Hello everyone,
I'm working on repurposing an MX9 5G TV Box (RK3229) for educational use and I'm looking for a lightweight Armbian image that already includes a working desktop environment (XFCE or similar) with GPU acceleration enabled (Mali drivers, no llvmpipe).
I’ve tried minimal builds and installed XFCE manually, but I’m still getting software rendering (llvmpipe) instead of hardware acceleration. I'd really appreciate it if anyone could recommend a tested image (preferably based on Bookworm or Bullseye) that:
Boots successfully on the MX9 5G (RK3229)
Has Mali GPU acceleration enabled by default
Includes or supports installing a lightweight DE (XFCE preferred)
Bonus if it includes support for video playback or has a browser that runs decently.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or links!
