I agree that most people will want to run Ubuntu server in a VM.

I don’t agree that Multipass is the obvious default way that most people will want do this, given that Multipass is clearly aimed at local workstations for dev/testing and not actually servers.

I’m working on the assumption that “Ubuntu Server” is designed primarily for servers, and Multipass, by its own description page is categorically not designed for servers. It’s for a secondary use-case of running a test environment locally on a dev machine.

My point was that it seems strange to push a secondary use-case as the first option on the download page.

I’m not saying this is absolutely terrible, but it was just an example of some seemingly unnecessary friction being introduced.
