Hello @sheurich, Thank you very much for your collaboration and sorry for the delayed response. This is a good feature and definitely we will evaluate it. Now, in our ceremonies we are in the process to replace the laptops after almost 8 years of operation, so this feature can help us to use different kind of laptop/computer/architecture and also move on to replace the dvd in the future. Thanks again.

I will finally close this PR since most of your suggested changes have been implemented in v1.0.0. Thank you
