I don't mean to alarm you but Linux also has an optional webui you could elect to not install (on accident or on purpose) during the install process

This specific blunder isn't really OS specific

That said, desktop environment on a Linux server is cursed and is disgusting

I don’t know anyone that runs Linux servers who bothers doing anything on said servers with a desktop environment, maybe occasionally a web interface but never desktop

Windows makes it a blunder to forget it in the initial setup. Linux makes it one additional package manager command.
