So, I cannot get this to install to emmc but I am able to boot into it from USB just fine, WiFi works, and that's what I mainly want. (Also its the only IMG file that has working WiFi for me)

File name: Armbian_23.02.0_amlogic_s905x3_jammy_6.1.9_server_2023.02.02.img.gz

However I have two issues,
The storage is limited on the USB drive, how can I fix this?

Second, Is there a version with a desktop environment installed if so can i have a download link? And if not how can I install xfce?

Thanks in Advanced.

You can install the desktop environment with command armbian-config or armbian-software.

Both ways will install a desktop environment. If you do not want the Gnome interface perform the following:

Install desktop environment from Armbian-config
sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome* -y
sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop -y
sudo apt-get install xfce4 -y
sudo apt-get install xfce4-session xfce4-goodies -y

sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

[Seat:*]
autologin-user=<username>
autologin-user-timeout=0

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/02-Armbian-aml-s905-x3.conf

    Identifier "Amlogic"
    MatchDriver "meson"

    EndSubSection
EndSection

sudo apt-get -y install lightdm-gtk-greeter

sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm

reboot

To activate the remaining space of TF/SD/USB, please login in to armbian → input command:

armbian-tf

According to the prompt, enter e to expand the remaining space to the current system partition and file system, and enter c to create a new third partition.
