Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
To be able to just
ssh hostname
instead ofssh benjamin@hostname
for instance.Specifying the last name seems appropriate for possible machine multiple users usage such company servers which happened at DFINITY, even if in these cases I do not choose my username in general.
While precising the last name can be heavier, I think it is more appropriate.
However, have to make sure not to break anything when doing such a change. As far as I know I can't break important stuff, especially as I do not propose a significant service in production as far as I remember.

I am unable to rename my user correctly. However, I am able to revert my failing changes.Should experiment and document step by step in a virtual machine.
Should first verify being able to proceed on a Linux environment without home encryption.
Should give a try to:

I had to modify on LemnosLife VPS
/etc/pam.scripts/ssh_alert.sh
. Hardcoding the UID may be less user-friendly and not necessary as I do not plan to modify my username in the forseeable future.Output:

DuckDuckGo and Google search Linux Mint Cinnamon rename home encrypted user.
The Ask Ubuntu answer 1105522 leads to a login loop, even if try twice. Maybe because I forgot to edit
Private.mnt
. Now on my Debian 12 GNOME Pegasus Linux Mint (trust) Virtual Machine Manager virtual machine it works fine.The Super User answer 404137 may help.

Benjamin_Loison/coreutils/issues/15 and Benjamin_Loison/grep/issues/1 can help.

symbolic link.Can just try to patch issues I face otherwise but some may be unclear like with Firefox and some stuff may silently break.
At least I achieved renaming my user, even if it is not absolutely clean.
