- The main Feature of ubuntu IS GUI. all the developers are not aware with cli.
- The system admin will work on cli.but all the developers need GUI.so most of the developers using UBUNTU.
- But the point is aws provides cli version of UBUNTU. so devlopers are affected and have working with trouble.
