I am working with a VirtualBox headless virtual machine (Mininet VM running Ubuntu 20.04) and I want to install a desktop environment, is that possible? if so, how?

the answer is straight forward as @guiverc commented:
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop
will install the default Ubuntu Desktop (eg. GNOME). You can also install other DEs; eg.sudo apt install lubuntu-desktop
will install the Lubuntu (LXQt) desktop... (etc.. applies for all flavors too; I just used Lubuntu as example) – guiverc
note: the terminal does not work by default even though there is an app called "terminal" installed, so I used Xterm instead (you can install GNOME terminal using Xterm).
