Yes. You can simply run the command sudo hostnamectl set-hostname [name]. You won't lose any data doing this. Restart after running the command.
How I can change floatingskies to ''renardosh''?
@quiet stirrup
The first part is your username, the last part is your hostname. You can use sudo usermod -l renardosh floatingskies to change the username to floatingskies
Got it
Make sure to restart after that as well.
You'll have to log out and use a TTY for this. Log out of your desktop environment, then press CTRL+ALT+F4 to switch to TTY4, and then use that command. If nothing shows on TTY4, try CTRL+ALT+F5. You should then rename your home folder, which would be sudo mv /home/floatingskies /home/renardosh
Ah, got it
I think mixing my 2 usernames might be a good idea, anyways, thanks for the help
No problem
