From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Btop tells me everything I need to know, and it does it with style.
I mainly need this when i don't have access to my own laptop and ssh keys.
You could use a hardware key for ssh with a passphrase protected key. I use a solo key v1 myself. There are even keys that let you enter a pin on the device instead of the computer, so you don't have to worry about key loggers. And you can set up Sudo to work with a key too.
Wait, wait, wait. If you want something publicly accessible most of the solutions in this thread would be a Bad Idea™️. Don't expose anything that could possibly make changes to the system to the Internet.
