Hi, Fedora server has no user interface. You likely are looking at an ugly text screen.
I would encourage you to continue with Linux, just not a "server" edition. The only difference between a 'server' and 'desktop' in the Linux world is that 'server' normally doesn't come with a user interface, and 'desktop' doesnt have all the server packages out of the box. Both can be server and desktop if you know which packages to install.
I would suggest downloading on another computer 'Kubuntu' Linux. This is a variation of Ubuntu, but it looks famliar.

The user interface looks like if Windows and OS X had an offspring.
You can use a program called 'rufus' to make a bootable USB from the iso download.
