I'm no one to tell how you how you should do things, but installing XAMPP on Ubuntu is the same thing as having Windows and installing XAMPP, which makes having a linux machine rendered useless.
The big purpose of having a linux machine is that you can install everything independantly and configure everything your way, installing that software takes that away.
I recommend you learning how to install the LEMP, or LAMP stack, so in the future you have more freedom and knowledge about the main services that make your website run.

Thanks very much for your opinion and I understand your point very much which just leads us to the "XAMPP or LAMP" debate.
In my opinion, the decision depends on the individual and his needs, and personally, I will go for XAMPP, because I know installing LAMP gives you that freedom but then again XAMPP is a cross-platform package that comes with Apache, PHP, and MySQL plus it can also be used to configure LAMP(or WAMP on windows and MAMP on Mac)
