InstallaDesktop(GUI)onanUbuntu Server
Ubuntu Server is a variant of the Ubuntu OS that does not include a
graphical user interface (GUI) by default. GUI applications consume
system resources needed for server-oriented tasks, so Linux server
distributions usually avoid a GUI in favor of the command-line terminal.
Some tools, however, perform better and are easier to manage with a
GUI. If you use a tool with a GUI, installing a desktop environment may
improve the experience of working with the server.
Start by ensuring the software on the server is up to date.
Refresh the repository and package lists, and perform the necessary
upgrades with the following command:
sudoaptupdate
