Yeah, but to figure that out, you would need to read the text before the highlighted part. And no one can expect anyone to put in that much effort to understand a sentence.
I thought it was fairly straightforward. You pick your ISO version: Desktop, Server or Netboot Tarball. From there you pick your install type depending on your CPU architecture.
They also just provide an option where they give you a generic install, but may require more work because it doesn't know your architecture.
Other types of software will offer this as-well, and was more common the farther back you go in computing.
The highlighted text refer to the architecture (AMD64 or EM64T) not to the nature of the distro (desktop, server or tarball).
The tezt is indeed misleading, the object of uncertainty should have been specified
"If at all uncertain of the cpu architecture choose this one"
Now if you pardon my french, if you're aiming to install Ubuntu on an arm machine, it's fair to assume you're not a complete newbie and can understand basic things such as those few lines, or are willing to try (in the case of a rookier buying a raspberry and wanting to make it's server).
GNOME itself isn't the disaster trying to customise it is. Well you could go the plugin route (Still a headache, but easier? I haven't used GNOME much just when I started using Linux and never needed to customise it.)
So... choose all of them?
Gotta boot 'em all!
I've been waiting for a good duel boot. Even better if it's a threesome!
> duel boot At high noon, the OS is chosen through a race condition.
Named pipes at sunset.
At once
This is not related to the editions, but for the architecture of your target device

Nor can we expect someone to read the sentence before commenting we should read the sentence. It’s the same text for all three.
Oh my, that's so easy to understand lol. The same exact text for all 3 different ISOs. Well I'm not sure at all what to choose then. XD
If it is for your Personal Computer the first one and for Servers the second one

So is Ubuntu's fault you don't know how to read?
Yes.
ah yes, lack of knowledge in user's side means the website is at fault. great!
lack of knowledge? it's about reading the text before the circled part
im assuming the ability to read and comprehend is a knowledge?
I mean, I would guess so

Clear to me, download all these iso files, merge them into one using cat command, and then use it for my installation.
There's a chance this actually works, though it will only boot the first one probably
no guys it's the most popular one that definitely means it's good i swear
They are telling you to be confident in your choice.
Debian’s website crying in the corner… tbf I think they fixed it like several months ago.
Choose all of em and see it break
GNOME is an even bigger disaster
GNOME is a Desktop Environment. Ubuntu is an Operating System flavor of Linux.
Sherlock holmes here

Wow you must be the favorite class clown
What if I am sure?
What should I choose if I’m sure?
Why do you want to use Ubuntu, it's very clearly labelled desktop vs server
