Sounds good but I would like to run a headless Raspberry Pi without Wayland or any GUI at all, just Ubuntu Server or even better Ubuntu Core but in addition to SSH be able to remote administrate it using a web GUI such as Cockpit.

But unfortunately Cockpit is not available as a Snap package so you cannot install it on Ubuntu Core which can only install Snap packages, and unfortunately Cockpit does not include any plugin module that lets the user install and uninstall Snap packages.

Proprietary backend and frontend..

Sunshine + Moonlight is the way to go for low latency RDP.

I mostly agree, it's a bit janky, but way better then proprietary, hope rpi open sources the code soon however, as I always like foss RDP tech

If you don't use a GUI anyways then you can easily switch to debian, the slow progress is suitable for server stuff and you have the whole apt world to choose from.

Given that Cockpit is a project in the "Red Hat zone", it shouldn't surprise you it doesn't support Snap which is a Canonical-only controlled thing.

Cockpit is an open source software which is built in a modular way to be extensible so Canonical could easily contribute support for packing it as a Snap as well as a module that handles installation, updates and uninstallation of Snap packages.
