Dont go head on with Linux no gui approach if your fresh.
Why? The GUI is just a distraction and more to learn without benefit. I highly recommend avoiding the GUI so that you study what you need rather than accidentally spending time studying tools that don't exist on servers and missing steps in getting from A to B.

Sometimes that might scare people, and having GUI allows you to have web-browser on the same machine, thus you can easily open this site and copy and paste commands and learn.
Some fresh users wont be able to virtualize and enable bidrectional copy/paste, but you do have a point that its useless GUI stuff will never come in servers.
But it all depends on the user experience and what he means by fresh/new starter.

You connect to your VMs via SSH anyway, so you always get the web browser and copy/paste. That's not different. What is different is that they can stay on any desktop that they are comfortable with, no reason to learn something new WHILE trying to learn something else new.
The first reaction to "I want to learn X" should not be "then spend time learning Y which doesn't contribute to X". Same reason a raspberry pi is a bad idea.

As much as I argued against this at the beginning of my journey, I now agree with it.
If you really want to learn Linux, do not use a GUI.
If you are using a GUI, you might as well be using anything.

My advise is to not "play" with anything. Put Linux on your daily driver and use it exclusively to get your work done. If you can't do something you want or need to do while on Linux... Figure out how to do it on Linux.
Implement common services on Linux servers (Hypervisor, DHCP, DNS, Nagios, Email Server, etc...) using the major distributions(CentOS, Debian, SUSE).
Don't put a GUI on your servers. It's a waste of your time and resources.

@jimmynelson You don't have anything to unlearn now. Perfect time to learn the terminal.
