I think you can! It looks like it uses the pacman config on the ISO/host, and can copy it to the target.

Arch, btw?

I couldn’t get my head around DDNS when I started out, so I ended up renting a dirt cheap VPS and running a wireguard tunnel from my homeserver. I think I pay ~$3 a month for the VPS, where I also run the reverse proxy for my services (Caddy).

Cons: I’m not completely self sufficient Pros: My machine is not exposed directly to the net, and it was laughably simple to set up.

Epic Games Store has a Linux client

I presume this is the fully vibe coded one that they’ve been bragging about?

When they say “password auth disabled” they don’t mean being ble to log in without authentication. It means that your machine instead authenticates with an SSH key:

You generate a private/public key pair on your computer (the one you will take with you), and add the public key from that pair to a list of trusted computers on your server. When logging in, your computer will prove to the server who it is by generating that same public key. No password needed.

1. Generate a key pair with ssh-keygen -t ed25519 on you computer.
2. Copy the contents of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub from you computer into a file on you server called ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

That’s it!

The file on the server should be in the home directory of the user you want to log in as. If it already exists, add the key you generated to the end of it.
