Linux 101: Ubuntu Server with a GUI (Graphical user interface)
Ubuntu Server is my favorite flavor of Linux. Therefore, I like to try different things on it, for some of you also unnecessary things.
I will anticipate to all of you, that if you
are trying to learn Linux and maybe you are at the beginning of your journey
with Ubuntu Server, I will highly recommend you get familiar with the CLI and
do not install any GUI for now.
So, this little guide on how to install any type of GUI available for Ubuntu is suitable for how is already confident with at least basics commands on Ubuntu.
Considering that I am doing this procedure in a
lab environment to also verify how many “resources” this test is going to
consume compared with the OS without GUI.
Tasksel is a utility that can allow you to install multiple GUI.
sudo apt install tasksel
sudo apt-get install slim
tasksel
