Providing logs with 

armbianmonitor -u

 helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

I was doing some experiments on Armbian 25.8.1 Trixie, and I decided to do a quick try of installing the XFCE desktop (along with some others):

sudo apt-get -o APT::Install-Recommends="true" install task-xfce-desktop

 

It works under X, but not under Wayland. I found out that its Wayland support is experimental, and that if you install the labwc package, that will get it running (very very badly) under Wayland. But it does work well under X. It's possible a different wayland compositor (than labwc) will work better?

 

I also tried with the Vendor kernel (with the Panthor GPU overlay), and the edge kernel. Edge GPU performs seemingly not at all under X, but vendor with Panthor overlay performs well in X.

 

I initially logged in via the SDDM display manager, but I switched to LightDM, and that worked as well, although with a hiccup.
