Please do not assume that I am suggesting you change your server and waste your efforts . My aim is to define my approach with its reasons .
If I were you I would prefer to use KDE . I am very satisfied with my use of KDE . When I use FreeBSD together with LInux I am using KDE also in FreeBSD . My difficulty in FreeBSD due to KDE is the following : KDE is completing missing parts of Linux . In FreeBSD we can say that there are no such missing parts ( it is a complete operating system ) . Management of additional parts in KDE is causing mismatches with FreeBSD . There I do not see any problem . KDE is supplying to me a consistent environment between different operating systems . Important feature of KDE is its restartability of the previous session when the computer is shutdown . To my knowledge , the other desktops are not supplying such a feature . This view may be wrong because I did not try the other desktops other than Gnome . Up to now I did not encounter a "desktop" which is not "graphical" . The shell in Unix ( variants such as FreeBSD , Linux or others ) are using "shell" . You may search the following phrases in Google one by one : non graphical desktops non graphical desktop linux desktop environments ubuntu desktop environments ubuntu server desktop environments ubuntu server web GUI ubuntu server management web interface I think you will find a suitable solution for your works When you study the following pages and their associated subpages , it will be evident that there is no any non-gui desktop but "lightweight gui desktops" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command-line_interface https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Desktop_environments Mehmet Erol Sanliturk On Sun, Nov 21, 2021 at 10:35 AM Bo Berglund via lazarus < [email protected]> wrote: > On Sun, 21 Nov 2021 02:53:35 +0300, Mehmet Erol Sanliturk via lazarus > <[email protected]> wrote: > > >It is possible to use KUbuntu ( KDE with Ubuntu ) .
