Hi,
I am using Mint XFCE, I have ethernet connection to "Shared to other computers" as the server has wifi and it serves to my main computer.
When I try to do ssh user@ip using Windows terminal I get this error: (screenshot).
Is ssh on by default in Linux Mint (XFCE)?

Nah the default is off.
I don't remember very clearly, but I think openssh-server is even not installed by default.
As I remember, on cinnamon version, you need to install it by yourself. The default setting is on after it installed. You can disable it's autostart.

this fixed it for me. All i had to do was apt install openssh-server.
