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.
