Should I Use Ubuntu Desktop or Server?
Contents

Which is better Ubuntu desktop or Ubuntu Server?

You should opt for Ubuntu Server over Ubuntu Desktop if you plan to run your server headless. Because the two Ubuntu flavors share a core kernel, you can always add a GUI later. … If Ubuntu Server includes the packages you need, use Server and install a desktop environment.

What is the difference between Ubuntu desktop and live server?

The desktop edition uses a graphical installer that runs on the desktop or you can run the installer without booting to a desktop. The server is for installation only and runs a graphical installer that runs in a console, rather than a desktop.
