Frequently asked questions

What is Ubuntu Desktop?

Ubuntu Desktop is an operating system optimized for interactive use, featuring the full graphical environment (GUI). This makes it suitable for tasks that require a visual interface, such as programming, browsing the web, and general remote workstation tasks.

It is distinct from Ubuntu Server, which is a minimal installation optimized for low overhead and running background services (like web servers or databases) without a graphical interface.

What are the system requirements for deploying Ubuntu Desktop?

The minimum system requirements for installing Ubuntu Desktop on a cloud server are as follows:

·  2 GHz dual-core processor
·  2048 MiB RAM
·  25 GB (8.6 GB for minimal) of hard-drive space
·  3D acceleration-capable GPU with at least 256 MB of VRAM
·  1024×768 or higher resolution display
·  USB flash drive or DVD drive or for the installer media
·  Internet access is helpful

Screen resolution will be set at the highest your graphics card can handle. When you boot-up, you should be given a “Low graphics mode” option which allows you to set it to something better for your monitor.

For more details, visit the Ubuntu Installation/SystemRequirements pages.

Is Ubuntu Desktop secure for remote work?

Yes. Ubuntu is known for its strong, customizable security features. When hosted on Kamatera, your instance is protected by our network firewalls and operates in an isolated environment, ensuring your code and data remain secure.

What can I do with an Ubuntu Desktop?

Run applications like web browsers, development tools, graphic design software, video editors, scientific computing tools, and thousands of other programs from Ubuntu’s repositories. Code, browse the web, create documents, edit images and videos, run virtual machines, manage databases—it’s a complete desktop operating system with full functionality.

Do I need to know Linux to use Ubuntu Desktop?

Ubuntu Desktop is one of the most user-friendly Linux distributions, designed with beginners in mind. If you’re familiar with Windows or macOS, you’ll find Ubuntu’s interface intuitive with a taskbar, application menu, and file browser. That said, some familiarity with Linux is helpful for installation tasks and troubleshooting. Many users start with Ubuntu Desktop specifically to learn Linux in a practical, hands-on way.

Is my Ubuntu Desktop deployment secure?

Your Ubuntu Desktop runs on secure infrastructure with firewall protection and encrypted remote desktop connections. You control access with strong passwords or SSH keys. Ubuntu receives regular security updates, and you can implement additional security measures like two-factor authentication, VPN access, or network isolation. Your data lives in professional data centers with physical security and redundancy.

Can I upgrade and downgrade my server specifications?

Yes. One of Kamatera’s core features is instant scaling. You can adjust your vCPU, RAM, and storage up or down instantly through our management console to match the evolving needs of your Ubuntu deployment, ensuring you only pay for what you use.

Which payment options are accepted by Kamatera?

Our system accepts credit/debit cards issued by your local bank branch with a cardholder’s name. We also accept payments through PayPal. We do not accept virtual, prepaid, or electronic cards.

You can use the Kamatera pricing calculator to select the exact server specifications you need and find out how much you can expect to spend.

How does the free trial work?
