I do not think Stellarmate is based on Ubuntu any more. Seems like it used to be, but since 1.5.0 it has been based on Raspbian, as mentioned here .

I now have tried out Ubuntu Mate, fetching Kstars/ekos/INDI worked very well there using the PPA. However, as I need to control it remotely, I installed VNC, and it was an extremely sluggish experience. This coupled with me being unable to use the previously mentioned instructions for getting the INDI drivers for my Astrolink 4 Pi up and running, I feel like this is yet another trench that I don't have the competency or patience to dig myself out of. Is there a prefered way to remotely operate an RPI running ubuntu mate that is not super slow? As the INDI drivers for the Astrolink 4 Pi only is coupled with instructions for Astroberry and Stellarmate, could it be the case that the drivers do not work on Ubuntu Mate? Would they need to be modified? Do I need to have the maker of the Astrolink make modifications on the drivers for it to support Ubuntu Mate?
