[Tip] How to find the IP address and hostname of your computer

as described in the tutorial @freggel.doe linked you to

ip -br a

enp4s0           DOWN           
wlan0            UP             192.168.20.140/24 
virbr0           DOWN           192.168.122.1/24

Thanks @freggel.doe - I didn’t know this and learned something!
