How to switch user

[Kal]

Do you know how to log in other than Purism ?

I think technically it is not supported. However I did do this on my L5 and have not experienced any issues…

@spacemanspiffy

I don’t like that the phone comes as purism@pureos by default and wish this was included in the initial setup so you can choose your own.
Changing the hostname is easy.
I also changed my username. I’m aware this is unsupported and I accept the risks if something breaks. One thing I did to hopefully mitigate is create a symlink from /home/purism to my new home folder.
I temporarily broke Phosh while doing this but was able to get things working (I instructed Phosh to login with a different user before creating the user account. Like a dummy Oops.)
Everything works now though.

Did you mean on the GUI? Because you can certainly create a second user and use that user for logging in via SSH.

Yes, that’s it, on the GUI.
I have already create a second user but don’t know how to login on the GUI ?

Thanks for your answer.
I’m not sure I’m going down that road …
