        Depends on what you want to do with the system.
        I'm a Linux Newbie apart from using it for 10+years but only for things like Web Servers and Zabbix etc.

        So I've never installed with GUI always basic install setup the networking and then install the service(s) you need and go.

          For learning Linux, you should definitely be without a GUI. If you want to have a job supporting Linux, there is unlikely to ever be a GUI available to you. If you want to use Linux as a desktop, you use a GUI because it is a desktop. But as an IT worker, a GUI would not be something you would use.

            Are you going through the material here? The need to not have a GUI is discussed:
