Snakeoil OS 1.1.x (Gear Isolation) is one of the best sounding operating system for audiophiles out there. However, the uncompromising sound quality also comes with uncompromising drawbacks!

• Limited hardware support
• Customised mainly for the Jetway series of motherboards
• Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is about to be EOL in April 2021

The next evolution of Snakeoil OS is now de-coupled mostly from the underlying Operating System, and thus addresses all the uncompromsing points above.

Supported Distributions

These are the officially supported, more will be added in the future:

• Ubuntu (Installation Guide)
• Raspbery Pi Raspbian (** Pending **)

Download the "Server" edition where possible as Snakeoil OS is designed to run headless. Not using a Graphical UI will conserve valuable resources and improve overall responsiveness of your PC.
