"Because of that, you need to be very familiar and comfortable with the command line. Or you can install a desktop environment. In my opinion, this is the single easiest way to make Ubuntu Server easier, especially if you're relatively new to Linux. Having a GUI desktop will strip away the fear of having to use the command line, because you'll have plenty of apps to use (such as the file manager, user manager, GUI app store, and much more)."
"Ubuntu Server is an excellent option for self-hosting. With just a few tweaks, you can make this distro much easier. All of these options can be done for free. Ubuntu Server is my go-to for self-hosting. A big reason for this is that I've worked with this distribution for years, so I know it like the back of my hand."
Ubuntu Server is recommended for self-hosting because of its ease of use and wide familiarity. A few simple, free tweaks make administration significantly easier, especially for users less comfortable with the command line. Installing a desktop environment removes much of the need for terminal work by providing graphical tools such as file managers, user managers, and an app store. The desktop can be installed via the package tools and tasksel utilities, allowing selection of a preferred GUI. These tweaks are typically applied unless primary server access is limited to SSH, in which case GUI installation may be skipped.
