I usually use Ubuntu on VitrualBox machines and use the server distro. I’m considering installing Ubuntu directly to the hardware, but I’m concerned about not having a GUI option at all.

With the desktop version I’m not concerned about disk space, but performance. Does it have a significant effect on overall performance? Or am I worrying too much? Won’t I get a performance boost by not running in a VM anymore?

  • Does this answer your question? [How do I find out which version and derivative of Ubuntu is right for my hardware in terms of minimal system requirements?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/206407/how-do-i-find-out-which-version-and-derivative-of-ubuntu-is-right-for-my-hardwar) Please take a look at the "RAM usage of different flavors of Ubuntu 18.04" chart in the accepted answer. – karel Dec 14 '21 at 03:22

Make sure your system meets the minimum requirement for Ubuntu Desktop.

The Ubuntu Desktop installer has a "Try Ubuntu" environment specifically so you can test Ubuntu with your hardware before committing to an install. Test your wifi, your network connection, printers and other peripherals...and your system performance.
