I dare say I will. I actually did already, but this was long ago ;-). Though this will have to wait till my virtual machine server form spare parts has been set up.
Pretty sure I'll not find this conversation again, then.
That said, I actually appreciate if an operating system doesn't have a desktop default installed and the default install is a pretty minimal system. I should have a way to install a desktop with the package manager.
IMHO that's the difference between systems that want to be desktop operating systems and systems that want to be universal operating system.
Windows, for example, might have a headless install today (I am not even sure, it's not obvious), but generally this seems to be their exceptional case. A server where you have to RDP in and get a remote desktop for administration --- to me that's an abomination.
YMMV, though. But in the end I think there is a reason why Linux has such a dominance at the server side.

@glitzersachen i guess it’s part of its identity to not be accessible for the hoi polloi
