Linux Deskop Vs Linux Server; Which is better to learn Development and Hosting

I am interested in learning different software development technologies and practice it locally from my windows pc. I found a great way to run Linux on my Windows PC which is using wsl2. But I got some doubts.

  1. Is there any difference between Linux Desktop and Linux Server?
  2. If Linux Server is the best way to learn and try them out can I install it using WSL2?

I am just new. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Thanks.
