  1. You can create a file “/etc/hostname”.

vim /etc/hostname
fedora28-nixcraft

  1. Need to restart the service for this to take effect.

#systemctl restart systemd-hostnamed

Another way is to use Command to Change hostname:

  1. #hostnamectl set-hostname fedora28-nixcraft

This will create the file for you and restart the service automatically.
