Raspi/Debian Bookworm OS help

Hey fellas, I noticed a lot of people will install/boot headless versions of this software on raspi to conserve resources. If I go through installing what I need to install via the GUI/Terminal, will I have any issues when I’m finished turning on the boot to CLI? I assume this won’t affect the background process too much (unless of course something I install needs a GUI.)

Along with that, will I still be conserving the same amount of resources as if I ran headless to begin with. Running x64 Bookworm on raspi 4 (8gb) if that matters, and have a general self-hosting setup.

Thanks in advance!

    whostosay,

    I appreciate it, I was more so wondering whether or not I could keep my existing build as is aside from the GUI. I’ve done it the headless/CLI via ssh route previously but thought I’d check out using the GUI during the setup stages and being able to enable/disable the GUI at will and how that would affect performance vs installing only CLI at the start of the build.

    bizdelnick,

    If you disable graphical.target, no processes related to GUI will launch and consume any resources other than disk space.

    whostosay,

    Awesome, I’ll look into this. Thanks!
