SSH public key setting : client PuTTY on Windows 10 PC; server Raspberry Pi 4

Just after I set up the OS of my Raspberry Pi 4, I tried to connect to it via SSH from my PC.

I generated and installed keys via scp with the PuTTY suite. PuTTYgen and pscp.

Recently OpenSSH on Windows 10 has already been available, so why didn't I use this? One reason, unfortunately, is language mismatch.

First I just tried the ssh command on the PowerShell of my Windows 10 PC just as I would do on a Linux host with OpenSSH. Voila! Looks like a ssh client has already been ready for work. I accepted the host key and connected. Some output didn't display properly. I looked up for problem and it's because of Japanese encoding mismatch from the initial setting of my Windows 10 PC.

Fortunately, with PuTTY, everything, including Japanese displayed properly, so I decided to set up for PuTTY first.

I learned that the format of key pairs varies from SSH server and client, for example the default name of RSA secret key for OpenSSH is "id_rsa" and one for PuTTY is "id_rsa.ppk", and conversion process may be needed with some combinations of SSH server and client.

Slow Burst

My mental state is near burst. I sometimes make strange noises myself when I feel as if my brain were going to burst. I also feel that my mind is going to burst slowly with stresses from too many unreasonable things.

Even now, while I'm thinking that standard social skills in business scenes is worth learning, I scream to myself getting mad when I learn them.  Isn't just shaving my beards enough to be a salesperson? Am I going to be disadvantaged forever because the skin of my face and my head is too dry? This is one reason why I thought that I wanted to escape my country when I was 11 and 25. This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
