# 1. 🔓 Unlock the SSH server
sudo rm /etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run

# 2. Switch to the `root` user
sudo su

# 2.1. Set a password for the root user
passwd root
# 2.2. Set a password for the current user
passwd <user>

# 3. Exit from the root user session
exit

# 4. Use port `2323` for the SSH server
echo "Port 2323" | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/sshd_config

# 5. Start the SSH daemon
sudo systemctl start ssh

# 6. Expose port 2323 in Chrome OS to allow SSH connections
# 6.1. Open Settings
# 6.2. In the Settings menu, open the 'About ChromeOS' section
# 6.3. Navigate to 'Linux Development Environment'
# 6.4. Click on 'Port forwarding'
# 6.5. Click 'Add' to create a new port forwarding rule
# 6.7. Enter `2323` as the port number, select `TCP` as the protocol, and add a label if desired
# 6.8. Ensure the toggle switch next to the new rule is turned on to activate it

# After completing these steps, you can SSH into your Chromebook's Linux environment using:
# ssh <user>@<Chromebook_IP_address> -p 2323
