I have recently set up my RPi and everything seems to be good. However, I’m using 3.5.3 and the startx command does not seem to work. Can anyone please tell me how to recover it (in very simple language, please!)
I have NOT tried or tested this method. Found it on page linked below. Try it on your own risk
