Example of the device name from Ubuntu and tool tip example
SUMMARY
I have noticed that there is no GUI way to change the computer\machine\Host
name or even view the name in KDE Plasma. This is a basic function that is even
implemented in Gnome settings. This would be a great addition for user
friendliness and an UI improvement.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. There are no steps to reproduce as this is a feature request.
EXPECTED RESULT
I think this computer name change feature could be simply added to the "About
This System" page. It can be setup exactly like the Hardware and Software
sections are setup. The header would be called "Device Name" and under it an
editable box with the current device name. One name is inputted prompt for
reboot if required.
Additional as a tool tip, when you hoover over the editable box a tool tip
should appear explaining that this sections changes the name of the device and
the new name will be how it appears throughout your network and a reboot may be
required.
