pop os on 4th gen i7

 I'd already installed it on a 500GB HDD. 

installing open ssh server

good troubleshooting tips

sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config

default, leave it commented

#PubkeyAuthentication yes

change from no to yes

PasswordAuthentication yes

 

restart ssh server and then check that it is running

sudo systemctl restart ssh
sudo systemctl status ssh

 

On your client machine

generate the public key (don't use sudo)

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096

copy it to the open ssh server host (your pop os machine)

ssh-copy-id user@pop-os.local

Why Linux will take over the world!

Linux reaches 4%

   will take over in 2040!

 No. 

Linux distributions can be usable even by regular folk depending on how they use them.  For web browsing, working on documents, spreadsheets and drawing its usable its fine.

 But once you go off a very narrow path of those basic tasks you may wind up fiddling with apt, peering into the terminal, trying to install package mostly succeeding but sometimes failing in mysterious ways.

virtualizing linux m1 part 1

virtual ubuntu linux on m1

I wanted to run pop_os! on my m1 mac mini. 

Yay!

 Found UTM which is a slick frontend to qemu. 

Woes

 x86 images are as slow as molasses.   Pop_os!  is only available in x86 iso.

arm64 are much faster; UTM has an image gallery where ubuntu 22.04 arm64 is available.

UTM’s documentation.

Conclusion

 I'm out.  I have an old i7 I will run pop_os! on the bare hardware.
