To change your hostname, perform the following steps:
1. Enter the new hostname into the New Hostname text box.

Yes, screenshots are also perfect to understand the steps. As a system administrator, you must maintain track of your hostname because it is critical system information.

The designations by which we separate systems into easily recognisable assets are known as hostnames. When working on a remotely managed system, this information is very crucial to remember.

Can we eternally change the hostname in Linux?

Yes, you can.
Follow the procedure to change the hostname permanently:

1. Type the hostnamectl command : sudo hostnamectl set-hostname newNameHere. Delete the old name and setup new name.

2. Next Edit the /etc/hosts file: sudo nano /etc/hosts.

3. Reboot the system to changes take effect: sudo reboot.
