I'm sorry, but this doesn't make sense within the context of "why do you need an SSH server" on a computer?

> Let's see if we can get back to good computing and gaming, where you give up a little convenience for a ton of power and possibility.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Please explain.

I'm very old. So good gaming/computing means devices that are very open by default. "SSH server" can kind of be shorthand for "I can get in the guts of the thing and do whatever I want to it"

Consoles have never been open by default.

Yup, thus the PS5 jailbreak being a cool thing. However, the steam deck is open by default, which is a much bigger deal in the console world and far more exciting IMO.
