Second, should I run nmtui (or similar tool) as root in order to
change my hostname?
From https://www.wikihow.com/Change-Hostname-on-Linux
[ Run the command sudo hostnamectl set-hostname newhostname. Replace
newhostname with the hostname you'd like to set. Once you run the
command, your Linux hostname will be changed immediately.
This command changes the static (standard), transient (dynamic),
and pretty (descriptive) hostnames all at once. If you only want to
change one type of hostname, you can use the --static, --transient,
and --pretty options. Static and transient hostnames can contain
letters, numbers, and hyphens only.[2] Run the hostname command to
see your new hostname. If the hostname hasn't changed run the
command sudo systemctl restart systemd-hostnamed to restart
systemd-hostnamed.]
Regards, Peter.
