It could be like that in your community. Here in Spain people just ask
"No Cubase, no Reason, no Ableton Live there!? Shit!" Which is
specially funny given that they usually are non authorized users of
that privative software. They use cracks and never payed a pennie for
using them. Maybe that's the point, they've always been using software
"for free", why should they be using "free" software?

Agreed. Why not a tasksel option? If you select no desktop packages,
then install a server kernel. If you select desktop packages, then
autoconfigure a preemptive kernel plus rtlimits plus high resolution
timer in sysctl.conf, etc.
Cordially, Ismael
