Good day,
What can I expect if I should install a server version of a distro on my laptop, please.
that would depend on what the distro is, and what qualifies this 'server version' as such. for installing centos, which is often considered to be a server oriented system, although it comes with a full set of desktop components, you'd have to be concerned with hardware support for you laptop's display adapter, network adapters, wireless, etc. many wireless network adapters have poor support on linux and are difficult to get working.
only you can know what your expectations are from an operating system, assuming it supports your portable system.

I appreciate the time you spend on my question.
I am a pensioner. Never had experience about a server. Only used desktops and now laptop. Probably would never need server install. Thanks now I know more Regards Johan
