At first boot device, calamares is present to finish the install, really practice to set the OS
The set up with calamares is very close to calamares on x86 devices, sorry, I don’t post every step, but the screenshot show the Location, keyboard…


.

No issue with samba and vnc. top

I note a difference with LXQt 0.17, now is it possible to set the date with the ISO format (2021.11.14)

Enjoy !

Ram usage is wow high for lxqt :frowning:

You’re right screenfetch show a high ram usage, but KSysGuard show roughly 450 mb, less than a KDE DE.
I’m not focus on the ram usage, with the actual devices design with 4 gb ram and more.
