I feel GUIs complicate everything. You need graphics drivers and a display server and a compositor and a window manager etc... it's a pain and in the end you still have to open a console to type in commands for your actual self hosting. Not worth the effort in my opinion, and it's better to bite the bullet and get used to the terminal and ssh early.
I recommend using something like tmux or screen, so you still have basic comforts like tabs and multi task. Once you get used to it you can configure it and add themes and plugins if you like. A modern tmux setup really feels like a desktop except everything is faster and it barely consumes any resources.
