Headless refers to the lack of a monitor, so having a "terminal-only" DE-less Debian install but with a monitor still utilized does not make it headless. Come back when you actually get a job, you fricking secondary.
Headless refers to having no GUI you spastic. Having a monitor doesn't magically make it not headless and lots of server racks have 1U consoles so the server can be used locally if it needs to be. Lurk more homosexual
I mean Debian without a window manager or DE.
I've been using it for eight years now.
Is that called headless?
Ubuntu Server does not come with a window manager and is terminal only. It is probably one of the most popular serverOS in the world, right up their with centOS and redhat. My experience with Ubuntu server has been "it just werks". It has never felt boated to me.
new to linux. using it on a used office computer to run jellyfin. its only task/use. im using linux mint. should i switch to ubuntu? i keep it on 24/7 and its purpose is a server
Mint and Ubuntu are both super stable. The only reason I'd switch to Ubuntu is if you want KDE.
The Xfce and MATE versions of Mint are way better than Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu
Both are perfectly good, super stable distros with huge communities
honestly Mint is basically Ubuntu with some tweaks, so if you ever DO run into an issue, you can google "how to fix (the issue) ubuntu)" and it will work
a resorting NO! stay with Mint and try the other iterations such as Mate and LMDE. I recommend LMDE to get away from Ubuntu she Canonical. Mint is top shit, my homie. Ubuntu is chuck full of spyware.
>Ubuntu is chuck full of spyware.
Stop spreading lies, there's no "spyware" in Ubuntu. You can enable anonymous crash reporting at the install screen, but even that requires user consent. So unless you check that box, Ubuntu will collect ZERO data about you.
I actually switched from Mint to Fedora today. Nothing wrong with Mint, it was just too easy and Cinnamon is boring and underwhelming compared to something like KDE
Mint for Windows XP and 7 baby ducks, Ubuntu for everybody else.
>dude snaps lmao
'no'
I must be the only guy that likes snaps
Don't worry anon, I also like snaps.
you dont like snaps because you dont know what happens in the backend, its literally just a linux package with a proprietary backend
i know what happens in YOUR backend
(you doo doo out of it lmao)
You should both have a nice day
Windows for PCs
Red Hat Enterprise Linux for servers
Are you a glowie mister?
I usually always choose ubuntu, but I should really try out mint.
>Mint for PC's.
Yes.
>Ubuntu for servers.
Bloat. Terminal-only Debian is all you'll ever need, and even that is already bloated for those purposes.
You mean headless you fricking secondary. Come back when you actually use Linux

That's why Debian gives you the minimal install option.
Mint for morons. Ubuntu for BBC lovers. Arch for everyone.
I love dat 'BC and use Mint althougheverbeit
...who doesn't value their time
You are on IQfy and shilling Mint for free (repeating same old crap), pretty sure i use my time better than you.

>Ubuntu for servers.
Said no sysadmin in the history of ever.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST USE UBUNTU SERVER YOU NEED TO USE HECKIN REDHATERINO SO I CAN HAVE JOB SECURITY
>installing a point release distro on a PC
The future is now, old man.
Gentoo for PC's
Windows NT for servers
Windows 98 for PC's
Manjaro for servers
Windows 10 if you like playing video games
Arch for PC, debian for servers.
Ubuntu is bloated gayware. Telemetry and unnecessary shit. I'll stick with LMDE, even with gnome.
Cite please for telemetry and unnecessary shit

>another mint thread

>windows 7 for desktop
>arch for servers
I actually switched from Mint to Fedora today. Nothing wrong with Mint, it was just too easy and Cinnamon is boring and underwhelming compared to something like KDE

It's chudful, bigot.
Windows (any) for PCs.
Linux (any) for servers.

You can get arch level quality with endeavor os. Mint is a waste of time.
Debian. ☮
