Raspberry Pi OS now includes a package for SSH over USB using gadget mode, simplifying headless Pi setup. The rpi-usb-gadget package allows a Raspberry Pi to present itself as a network adapter when plugged into a host machine via USB, enabling direct SSH access without Wi-Fi configuration. The feature can be enabled through Raspberry Pi Imager, though Windows users need an additional driver for Internet Connection Sharing. This approach eliminates common headless setup frustrations like Wi-Fi configuration issues.
