Which I think is technically Ubuntu. So with that in mind... On the laptop: sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade sudo apt install openssh-* -y sudo systemctl enable sshd sudo systemctl start sshd sudo systemctl status sshd ssh localhost <confirm that you can access the laptop locally here via SSH> ip addr show [remember the laptop's IP address here] On the desktop: ssh USER@xxxxxxx Replace USER with whatever username you were using on the laptop and the 1.2.3.4 with the laptop's IP address from above, e.g.; ssh neil@xxxxxxxxxxx As you're using your working laptop for the test, if it doesn't let you in or respond it's a software issue rather than a problem with the computer in this case. By far the most likely reason for that happening is a firewall blocking TCP:22 on the desktop but we'll deal with that if it happens.
