Work In Progress: 1.4.4

[agent_kith]

Working on next version of Snakeoil (1.4.4). The UX is kind of ancient to be honest, I might upgrade the WebApp to support material UI, which has a "switch" widget, and that widget just feels more logical than a checkbox.

   

As such it will be a on/off switch instead of a checkbox. When switched on, your Snakeoil OS will automatically attach the machine to your Pro subscription and enable the realtime kernel feature. The kernel will then show up in the list of kernels to boot from.

This is the improved UX when switching Snakeoil from stable vs experimental (i.e. every version discussed here).

   

Again I feel this can be improved with the use of Material UI. This is still work in progress - I think it's a good idea to have individual holds for each package (i.e. you can update Snakeoil WebApp without updating the players, or the other way round, or disable updates for both packages completely). This means you can still update the OS without updating Snakeoil, and what is more important - you can also update Snakeoil without updating the Ubuntu OS itself. <- I know what I am saying sounds confusing right now, hopefully I can work this out in the UI.

Test build is not released yet though as I want to add in more features before releasing it. So watch this space. Overall these changes will (or should) make it easier to tweak your Snakeoil PC to do exactly the way you want it.
