TL;DR: Connecting to the server and running a program on it from your laptop can you shut down your laptop while it continues downloading and installing software? You're using SSH as root on Raspbian and want to sleep without interrupting ongoing tasks. The current setup keeps working, but you're concerned about leaving it running all night. Closing the terminal won't stop processes on the server.

backing screen is great. I prefer screens too. All my game servers (especially those on Linux...) work perfectly in a screen session. It's easy to start, and it delivers exactly what it promises.

You can remove a process from your list and keep it active even after you log out. This ensures it continues running. nohup <command> &; disown;
