This installs the mate desktop environment. You can change it later to
your preferred desktop.

sudo apt update && sudo apt install mate-desktop-environment

First, what is the text you see? There are many possibilities at the
moment, and we first need to know if the computer booted correctly or
not.

or rerun task selection if you want the menu? it's been a long
time since i've run that so i can't give details (those brain
cells have been recycled :) )...

Maybe X fails to start, what it happens if you run:

~$ startx

if this command is missing, run tasksel as root and choose the desktop
you want to install:

~# tasksel

Looks like the X server is not runnning. You need to install the required
packages for X.

For further help we need information about hardware, especially processor and
graphic chip. The more information, the better.
