These are targeted at those who create a custom Armbian system for their Raspberry Pi 5 devices with a different graphical environment, or without one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>When running Armbian for the first time, you will be asked to input a root (system administrator) password, choose a shell (Bash or ZSH), create a default username, connect to a Wi-Fi network (if available), as well as to set the system language and timezone. All this is done in a text-mode environment.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>The Raspberry Pi 5 builds are based on the latest <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/armbian-23-11-released-with-linux-kernel-6-6-lts-and-support-for-new-devices\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armbian Linux 23.11<\/a><\/strong> release, which arrived last month on November 29th, 2023, with support for the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/its-official-linux-kernel-6-6-will-be-lts-supported-until-december-2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Linux 6.6 LTS<\/a><\/strong> kernel series, support for new devices, adaptive login managers for all supported graphical environments, and other changes.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Without delay, if you wish to install Armbian Linux on your Raspberry Pi 5, you can download the prebuilt images from the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.armbian.com\/rpi5b\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">official website<\/a><\/em>. These images are powered by the long-term supported Linux 6.1 LTS kernel series, specifically Linux kernel 6.1.68.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Unfortunately, only the Ubuntu-based images functioned on my Raspberry Pi 5. I plan to contact the Armbian team to determine whether there&#8217;s a widespread issue or a bug with the Debian-based images, as the graphical environment fails to launch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><p>Update: Apart from the KDE Plasma image based on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, all the other prebuilt images won\u2019t boot to desktop.
