Server vs Desktop images

[sakittelsen]

I normally like building server images because they are small and fast to compile. An then I can add the wanted desktop by "sudo apt install gnome" or other desktop later.

 

But, sometimes I wonder if the desktop images have more features, like hardware drivers, than a server image with an added desktop afterwards. Can this be the case? Or does server images contain the same drivers and hardware support as a image built with a destop included?

Desktop images have some standard adjustments, like other wallpaper or certain extensions enabled. Driver, or kernel-wise, they are, depending on things mentioned earlier, identical to server images. You can check the build framework on Github for all the code.

That is true but almost impossible to understand for an outsider.
