Request: Lightweight XFCE Desktop Image for Orange Pi Zero 3

[mfoo]

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Orange Pi Zero 3 and would really appreciate a lightweight desktop image with just the XFCE desktop, a web browser, and basic tools (like file manager, terminal, etc.) with video acceleration.

The current Armbian desktop image works, but it includes a lot of software I don’t need. I’m looking for something more minimal — just enough for light use and a faster experience.

Does anyone have (or know how to build) a stripped-down XFCE image for this board?

Thanks in advance!

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero3 BRANCH=current RELEASE=trixie BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no

replace BRANCH with edge if you prefer more recent kernel.

replace RELEASE with noble if you prefer Ubuntu flavour.

remove BUILD_MINIMAL=yes to get the choice to build a standard cli image instead of minimal/iot.
