Hostnamectl?

hostnamectl comes from systemd, and is responsible for dealing with things such as the "pretty-hostname" or the chasis type of the machine on the local network.
How could i change my pretty hostname and other things in artix with the absence of systemd?

All 3 myhostname replace your pretty host name.

you can create /etc/machine-info and define there, what you need for your pretty-hostname, but no idea what it will help , because probably only systemd can work with it

Defined the upper case variables, my router still doesnt label my device.

friend, linux know only one hostname (defined in /etc/hostname) - as you can read in our wiki or https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#Set_the_hostname. Everything else is systemd-nonsense and for other "hostnames" you have to have installed systemd  ;)
Thought there was a way to do it independent of systemd, crap.
Thanks for the attention.

Code: [Select]
[alois@picasso ~]$ cat /etc/hostname 
picasso

Code: [Select]
[alois@picasso ~]$ cat /etc/hosts
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost
127.0.1.1       picasso.localdomain picasso
# End of file

both files should have same hostname.
127.0.1.1 say:  keep hostname persistent  -> maybe can help with labeling your device

Oh alright, now the hostname is actually displayed in the router panel. For some reason it didnt work with the wikis /etc/hosts config. Thanks
