Thanks to the SBC distro I've been brought back the the light & powerful LXQt DE. It's a breeze and a whif of elegance in blistering speed to work on the Raspberry Pi5.
I will install LXQt on my X86 system also so that machine can Fly like an Eagle

Thank you for the excellent work programmers!

That is quite a bummer. I wonder what the reason might have been for the programming team to revoke that possibility.

The current ways of preparing the Headless Install through customization, are of no value to you because your OS / computer cannot run the imager, which brings you in a chicken egg situation

Another plus point for the Raspberry Pi5
The machine works very gracefully with extremely slow USB sticks

Of course is the kernel specifically the kernel modules which do the Magical Work, but it's so beautiful to see how the buffers are dynamically changed to compensate for the extremely slow device

One program that was written very well, with both the beginning and the master user in mind is this one

Raspberry Pie imager. If you barely know how to move in a graphic user interface you will still be able to make the image.

If you're a seasoned POSIX operator like me, the imager will still do exactly what you want and give you the proper results
