Snakeoil with Ubuntu Desktop ?

[Snoopy8]

One can choose either Desktop or Server, the stock kernel plays a role in sound quality. Desktop Ubuntu uses a kernel that's tuned towards a desktop (i.e. you will not feel a lag when you're typing, or moving the mouse), whereas the Server Ubuntu uses a kernel that's more optimised for running on a server.

If you then move to a RT kernel then both becomes the same (more or less, at least this was true the last time I checked).

Snakeoil is designed to run headless - i.e. no keyboard, mouse or video and everything is done remotely. This does gives the sound quality and edge. No GUI means no graphics, which reduces the load overall (less current drawn).

Having said that, there's every intention to create a text console UI. This is still in the pipeline, and I'm thinking of using Golang for this - this will come in time......

Then suggest removing Ubuntu Desktop as an option...  It may be slightly easier to install Ubuntu but does not include SSH in the steps.
