Hi there<br>
The core development of Qgis is on Linux so it is very well
supported on that platform. In answer to your specific questions:<br>
* Use the latest stable version of Ubuntu (18.04) - variants like
Lubuntu, Xubuntu etc also work well and may be more suited to
specific requirements.<br>
<br>
1. The repositories labelled "debian" are for both Debian and Ubuntu
- you specify the release name in the deb statement which supports
release names for both distros.<br>
<br>
2. You need to check error messages from the apt command if you get
an error when installing from an https repository. For example you
may need to install the package apt-transport-https to enable apt to
work with https repositorities. This is not an issue with the
repository, it is an issue with apt. The error message in this case
is pretty descriptive as to what is needed.<br>

am in need of some advice, because I am venturing into
unknown territory. I want to explore the Linux side of QGIS,
and I want to set
up a Linux GIS machine (Cloud based). Bear with me, because my
computing skills
are in Microsoft territory. However, they date back from DOS
days so I would
say I am sufficiently computer literate.<span></span></p>

the process, I am trying to piece together instructions
and tips from different sources, of which the most reliable
seems to be the ones
at the <a href="http://qgis.org" moz-do-not-send="true">qgis.org</a>
site. However, there are some puzzling obstacles. I have tried
using QGIS 3.2 Bonn, and Ubuntu 18.04 bionic btw.<span></span></p>

For Ubuntu, I am adviced to load Debian repositories.
There seems to be no Ubuntu folders. Are Ubuntu and Debian
equal in this
respect?<span></span></p>

The installer is unable to find ”deb-src
<a href="https://qgis.org/debian" moz-do-not-send="true">https://qgis.org/debian</a>
bionic main”, while ”deb <a href="https://qgis.org/debian"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://qgis.org/debian</a> bionic
main” worked fine. I carried on neverteless, but it seemed to
give an
incomplete installation.<span></span></p>

The instructions give the advice: ”In case you would like
to install QGIS Server (note that it’s not a common practice
to install both
client and server applications on the same machine)…”<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm
8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Why
is that? To me it would be common sense to install QGIS
desktop and server on the same machine, to make sure that
published map designs
share the same paths and database connections. How else to
ensure this? I have
Windows servers with QGIS 2 desktop and server residing on the
same machine with no problem.<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm
8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Furthermore,
I plan to install Postgresql/Postgis on the same
machine as well, for the same reason as above. Is that
unsuitable too?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm
8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Thankful
for any advice, or links to a reliable installation manual.
Note that i have scrapped the Cloud machines so far, so I
cannot go back and test stuff. I always find it more
reassuring to follow a straight path to success rather than
going back for repairs at this stage.</p>
