I am confused, I found these 2 questions from Stack:
How do you run Ubuntu Server with a GUI?
How To Set Up GUI On Amazon EC2 Ubuntu server
I am using AWS, and I'm connecting to the EC2 Ubuntu 16.04 instance using PuTTY with SSH (from Windows 10). Now I am not sure which guide of the 2 above is suitable for me: Because I am already connected to the Ubuntu server remotely, so can I just install ubuntu-desktop and somehow launch it via PuTTY? Or I have to use VNC? I tried to simply do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, but nothing showed up later.
ubuntu-desktopfor that anyway (or large parts of it, such as X). – Jos Jun 26 '18 at 13:06
