I'm realizing now that simply depending on "opengl" DISTRO_FEATURES
won't be
enough, unfortunately.
The issue is that DISTRO_FEATURES are set by the distro globally for all
machines, whether with accelerated graphics, display w/o acceleration or
completely headless. E.g. when building for J7200, "opengl" will be
set, but
none of the graphics packages should be built or installed into the
image.
So, some sort of check for MACHINE_FEATURES or PREFERRED_PROVIDER (less
elegant) would still be needed in some places...
Arguably that's a package group / distro target issue. I believe when
a user selects the default image with all features enabled for J721E
and J721S2 the package selection should be equivalent (or at least as
equivalent as possible with the stuff going on now in meta-ti) to
align with the distro features selected. I believe the solution to
this is to add a headless target/image that removes Qt, GTK, etc. from
the selected package groups and to suggest the use of that instead if
users want a truly headless distro.
Agree here, I believe this was the solution we came up with in
our call the other day.
I'd go as far as suggesting we drop the "default" image and try to match
Ubuntu naming here. Have 3 images: Desktop, Server, and IoT. (IoT is
a rebranded tisdk-thinlinux-image). User selects the one that matches
their usecase, no need to force them into one bucket automatically based
on their hardware.

That level of renaming will likely require a broader audience. I agree
that it would be clearer naming to follow what other distributions do
and not invent our own names.
