After nuking my old install, I am in need of a hostname. Top comment chooses it.

    Hostnames can be up to 64 characters long in Linux.

      I tried with emojiea and it worked. what would break it though?

      edit: nvm something broke after a reboot. neofetch reports the hostname as ‘archlinux’ instead of whatever is inside /etc/hostname. matlab drive connector reset and initializer dialog poped up which it did not do before.

      But should they?

      ^No

      This seems to be the most popular one, though I can’t use it in the way its written here, because it will fuck up DNS. I’ll substitute the dots with dashes and then it should work.
