Most shells usually default to a truncated version of the hostname that only uses the hostname up to the first dot. Of course one can change that by setting the PS1 env var and using (in case of bash) H instead of h.
This seems to be the most popular one, though I can’t use it in the way its written here, because it will fuck up DNS. I’ll substitute the dots with dashes and then it should work.
I tried with emojiea and it worked. what would break it though?
edit: nvm something broke after a reboot. neofetch reports the hostname as ‘archlinux’ instead of whatever is inside /etc/hostname. matlab drive connector reset and initializer dialog poped up which it did not do before.
