# GUI versions of Ubuntu or Debian

> EDIS Global does not offer desktop enabled Debian or Ubuntu images, but users can install Ubuntu 22.04 and enable the GUI via a few shell commands.

## OS images with Graphical Desktop enabled

**Asif from Lahore (PK) asked:**

Do you provide GUI version for Ubuntu or Debian?

**EDIS answered:**

Although EDIS does not offer a dedicated Debian or Ubuntu image with GUI enabled, **you can** install Ubuntu 22.04 and **add the GUI via a few small shell commands.**

1. Update the apt package index and install the `tasksel` tool.

```shell theme={"system"}
   $ sudo apt update
   $ sudo apt install tasksel
```

2. Execute the following `tasksel` command to install the Ubuntu desktop environment "Kubuntu".

```shell theme={"system"}
   $ sudo tasksel install kubuntu-desktop
```

3. Reboot your system

```shell theme={"system"}
   $ reboot
```

4. The graphical user interface (GUI) should now start. Depending on your system, you may need to select your desired desktop environment on the login page before logging in. If the GUI isn't starting at all, ensure that your system is set to boot into the graphical target. To do so, run:

```shell theme={"system"}
   $ sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
```

**Advanced option for point 2**: If you only run `tasksel` \*\*without \*\*specifying the parameter `install kubuntu-desktop`, you can pick what you would like to install from a dialog.

```shell theme={"system"}
$ sudo tasksel
```
