Guys this is off topic but I'm using Ubuntu server for a jellyfin/coding server and getting headaches trying to do things cli only.. for example connecting openvpn.
My question is how much shame is there using a distro with a gui for a server
A GUI isn't preferable on a server mostly for one reason: Security. A lower number of packages and a smaller codebase means a lower number of things to exploit. And since WM/DE codebases are rather large and they have a lot of dependencies with them, it's really not recommended.
I will persevere then, at least it's improving my Linux skills!
