I originally thought people will be confused by gnome, but my wife picked it up almost instantly, and has been pretty happy with it (except the lack of MS office, but there is nothing that can be done in that regard).
What hostnames do people use? I’m tired of (and bad at) naming all my devices, I just tend to leave default as op, at least I can tell them apart easily
I have NekkoDesktop, NekkoLaptop, NekkoLaptopJr (new laptop) and NekkoServer :) (Phones are just Nekko <Release> with release being S9 and S21 for Samsung or G6 for LG)
For my work-related VMs, raid bosses. It makes it easy to spot my VMs because nobody sane would name them stuff like Erichthonios or Hippokampos. Unfortunately I had to draw the line at 724P-Operated Superior Flight Unit A-lpha.
For my home server VMs/CTs, I use the names of the gods - Byregot, Rhalgr, Azeyma, etc. and Eulogia for Proxmox itself.
perfect demonstration of culture sharing for a newbie. Like advising them to always trust commands they find online without even explaining them what each command does!
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname SOMETHINGNORMAL git clone https://github.com/popey/unsnap cd unsnap ./unsnap
Ubuntu-debullshit is also pretty good.

You could also name them so everyone can identify what they are at a glance instead.
