Snakeoil with Ubuntu Desktop ?
#1
Users have an option of using either Ubuntu Server or Desktop as the base.  However, the Desktop GUI is not available after SnakeOil is installed.  Is this a bug?  Otherwise, no point in offering the option?  Also, OpenSSH server also has to be installed separately in Ubuntu Desktop, whereas there is an install step for Server.

Was exploring whether it is possible to run Material Skin on a monitor to show current song, to mimic a display in a commercial streamer. For this exercise, tried Lubuntu Desktop which is far lighter; SnakeOil does install but GUI does not work.

Since many years ago Snakeoil can be installed on desktop version of Ubuntu and stripped the GUI.   I don't see the point to complicate Snakeoil at the expense of sound quality and time of AK.  From the beginning SO is meant to be a high quality of audio playback, targeting another segment in the "market".  In this pool, there are already several eye catching music playback software with compromised sound quality.  Honestly speaking, I don't think the audiophile world needs another such software in this segment, but a top notch one above all.

Just my two cents. Shy
