## Certainly! To use SSH in **Linux Mint**, follow these steps:

1. **Install OpenSSH Server**:
   - Open a terminal by clicking the terminal icon in the taskbar.
   - Install the OpenSSH server package with this command (use root privileges): `sudo apt-get install openssh-server -y`.

2. **Check SSH Status**:
   - SSH should be configured to start automatically on boot. Confirm this with:
     ```
     systemctl is-enabled ssh
     ```
   - If it's disabled, enable it using: `sudo systemctl enable ssh`.

3. **Test SSH Access**:
   - Find your Linux Mint machine's IP address (e.g., `192.168.1.20`) using `ip a`.
   - Use PuTTY or any SSH client to connect: `ssh username@192.168.1.20`.
   - Enter your password when prompted¹.
