ever since i tried to apt install firefox and was instead given the snap version without even being asked permission i gave up on ubuntu then and there
@i_love_FFT@frostlytt you quite literally just uncheck Desktop when installing and check ssh server.
Also if you dont set a root password your user gets sudo. if you do set a root password sudo is not installed

Ever since snap arrived, I switched to Debian.
The only thing I dislike about Debian is that there is no “server/headless install image” available, so it’s not a big deal.
I’m spinning up a vm right now just for you, but I think the netinstall allows bare, DE less

That’s probably like when I look for my cellphone and don’t notice it’s on my hands…
A few weeks ago I installed Debian on my old computer and i swear I couldn’t find these options!
