For now, I use xlock to lock my screen. If I want to lock and suspend, I use the following rather unglamorous command: $ xlock & (sleep 3; loginctl suspend) If anyone has any better advice, I would love to hear it! Someday I would like to return to fixing GDM, but I am a bit traumatized.

the same here: with the above tramp-remote-path definition, it found a
proper ls on the remote guix(SD) host
thank you very much!
happy hacking!
