I've seen some articles on changing the username which is left side of the "@" symbol, Is there a way to change specifically one of them and also both the sides of "@" Because I've realised it is way to big on my terminal and bothering me to always maximise

Run hostname <preferred hostname>.
That's for the right hand side.
That goes like hostname 0932VT
mint aspen
Run `hostname <preferred hostname>`.
it should be sudo hostname <preferred hostname> ? but that didn't work either
nevermind, i just had to restart
mint aspen
Run `hostname <preferred hostname>`.
Thanks btw
fringe bear
No worries, my pleasure.

A problem occurred, if I suspended my laptop and then opened again the terminal would again display the old hostname. Its like if my laptop sleeps and I open again
fringe bear
Run cat /etc/hostname.
