From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not sure what this offers vs just using any screen sharing method, or SSH, with a mesh VPN.

I think it offers not having to know enough about each of those pieces to pick one of each and set them up.

Under no circumstances should anyone have a device exposed to the Internet unless they have learned about all of those.

Isn't that the point of the new features? Now remote access can be had without directly exposing the device to the internet?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

That is impossible. If you can log in it is exposed.
