  • Always a pleasure to help :) Yeah took me a while to get it right to, but fortunately there are many guides to secure it properly.

    ssh is so amazing. With X11 forwarding you can start graphical apps aswell, so via ssh you can run everything you would on your host but via lan or the internet. I used it to edit documents directly in libreoffice on my host and I have an app on my smartphone wich emulates a mouse.


  • Ssh is always enabled

    That depends on the distribution. In archlinux the server is disabled by default. If I remember correctly some distributions distinguished between the client and the service package, which arch doesn’t, so it could be standart to enable it if you install the server.

    Also usually I can access the tty but sometimes a reinstall is easier than figuring out how to fix it.

    Yes, true and most of the times it’s quicker to reinstall. It’s especially annoying if you haven’t used your system in a while and have no idea what you did last.

    Snapshots is sth I still should setup.

    The gentoo wiki has a super detailed guide about porting your system to btrfs: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Btrfs/System_Root_Guide
