I installed fedora kde earlier today, hated kde, couldn’t uninstall it, so reinstalled with workstation. My hostname was originally computer, but I changed it, but now I still see user@computer ~ whenever I go into a terminal? is this a problem. Gnome terminal also looks weird
Update: so I’m updating on a kernel 6.5.6 backup which still works, and I see this when I run dnf upgrade
So I take it I probably shouldn’t update
Gnome terminal looks weird, or old, because it uses a different UI library to the other Gnome apps.
The new looking ones use GTK4/Libadwaita, wheras Gnome terminal uses GTK3. There is porting work being done, but for the time being you can use another terminal which is Libadwaita such as Blackbox or use this theme which makes GTK3 look like GTK4.
Oh, I’m used to Ubuntu which has a custom theme for terminal
What are the contents of
/etc/hostnameand/etc/hosts? Also don’t forget to reboot after changing the hostname!try:
hostnamectl --helpI see you are a real noob. Now, download Fedora Silverblue and install it. Trust me, you will love it. Also it looks 100% same, as Workstation, if you still have some doubts.
There’s a new GTK4/Libadwaita terminal called Console, but Fedora didn’t include it, preferring to update the old terminal eventually.
If you just need a basic terminal there’s Console, if you need something a bit more tweakable there’s Blackbox
