I have an extra laptop with 8gb or ram that I want to turn into my Nextcloud server.

The steps that I think I need to take:

Learn how to set up a server on a laptop.
Learn how to install Nextcloud software on the server.

But I'm confused because I came across a video where someone set up Nexcloud right on their Windows laptop. Does that mean I can do that on my Ubuntu laptop?

In short: Yes, every computer van become a server. It is a matter of installing the right software :-)

The software you know is made to interact with using your screen, but there is a lot of software that is not using your screen at all but is going to interact over your network, like Nextcloud Server :-)

You could just follow the installation instructions for Nextcloud Server on your laptop.
