It appears that the linked version of the "Offline Installer" (multi-arc-bmg-offline-installer-26.5.6.1) only comes with ubuntu-25.04-desktop directory, although "server" is listed as one of the recommended images.

Thanks for reporting this issue. Yes, we supported ubuntu 25.04 server previously. For latest installer 26.5.6.1, we optimized the overall arch, due to internal process issue, we are still working on to add 25.04 server. Will update here as soon as possible.

Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. To be honest, I'm really surprised that it was developed as “desktop first.” Maybe it's just me, but I think most users would prefer server installations. Whats even the point of desktop for these kind of applications?

Since SR-IO is not supported yet, it would be nice to support Debian 13 (25.04s base). Debian 13 is now the base of Proxmox, the entire homelab community is using this, making the B60 a non-starter.

i'd love to use a VM but passthru with the current drivers seems impossible.

To work around this problem, just do ln -s ubuntu-25.04-desktop debian-13-server

i assume you can do the same for 25.04 server
