What's the proper way to change the system name on Tumbleweed?

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi,

I don’t like how my systems name is ‘localhost’. I’m always used to using Firstname-PC or something like that. What’s the correct way to do this without breaking anything. I’m new to Tumbleweed which is why I ask this question. Still getting to know my way around and how this OS works.

Perfect, thank you.

I don’t remember seeing an option to edit this during the installation, as I’m normally used to.

Is it in there? Did I just miss it?

@Boogieman It is via Network options and set there for the interface to use, but you have to select at the final summary page.

try this command : cat /etc/hostname

Or to change the name try: sudo nano /etc/hostname

.
