That means, that the kernel (and related stuff) can now simply be updated just like any other package, without any hazzles from overwritten devicetree files.

### Available image types
26+
- Debian Minimal/IOT
27+
- Smallest images containing just a minimal set of installed packages
28+
- Require some work replacing networkd with NetworkManager (for installing KlipperScreen)
29+
30+
- Ubuntu Server
31+
- Comes with some more preinstalled packages compared to Minimal/IOT
32+
- Network setup (for installing KlipperScreen) is a bit easier, as NetworkManager is already installed and configured
33+
34+
- Ubuntu Desktop
35+
- These images don't really make sense on that device and won't be build in the future.
36+
37+
### Why not Debian/Server?
38+
That's for maintainability reasons:
39+
- Armbian automatic builds do not offer all possible combinations of distributions (Debian, Ubuntu) and package selections (Minimal, Server, Desktop) due to limited resources.
40+
- Debian/Server is a combination currently not offered for Armbian automatic builds.
41+
- Providing my own Debian/Server builds would require constant work keeping them up to date.
42+
- The Ubuntu images contain just a small subset of the original Ubuntu setup:
43+
- All proprietary "Canonical" stuff has been removed in the Armbian Ubuntu images.
44+
- Basically it is a Debian image, just with some more recent packages.
