Hi all.
Guys, I want to change the hostname or to put it another way, the model ( Host: OPTIMUS OPTIMUS E-Sport GB550-CR3 ) that is displayed in neofetch:
master@PC
---------
OS: Manjaro Linux x86_64
Host: OPTIMUS OPTIMUS E-Sport GB550-CR3
Kernel: 6.1.31-2-MANJARO
Packages: 1290 (pacman)
Shell: zsh 5.9
Resolution: 1920x1080
DE: GNOME 44.1
WM: Mutter
WM Theme: CustomAccentColors
Theme: Adw-dark [GTK2/3]
Icons: custom-icons [GTK2/3]
Terminal: gnome-terminal
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (12) @ 3.600GHz
GPU: AMD ATI Radeon RX 6400/6500 XT/6500M
Memory: 1708MiB / 15894MiB
GPU Driver: amdgpu
I started browsing the system looking for neofetch files, in order to find the resource where it takes this hostname(model).
I looked in the config file which is located in the path:
/home/user/.config/neofetch
And there was this content of the config file (config.conf):

I found the first mention of the word “Host” at the beginning of the file. I understood that it’s a function to which the parameters you would like to see when you call neofetch in terminal are passed in. But I could not find any path to the file or what it takes this host information from, at least in this file (config.conf).
Then I found a forum thread.
I read this thread and did as it said using the
Using the option to edit the file on the path:
/etc/hosts
File before editing:
# Standard host addresses
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
# This host address
127.0.1.1 PC
File after:
# Standard host addresses
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
# This host address
127.0.1.1 ManjaroPC
But it didn’t work. Most likely because it is not related to the host, but to the model.
