Changing the prompt in Ubuntu
0
I know very little about I am doing. Years ago I had a job where I needed to use a Linux terminal and now I am using it to relearn it. The line that I type in on Ubuntu looks like this:
username@DESKTOP-FOO:~$
when I want it to look like this:
username@userPC:~$
How do I fix it?
Sorry for the vagueness of the question and description. Not sure of any of the terms for these things.

Are you using some virtualization on your "userPC" to create an Ubuntu environment, such as kvm or docker?
