== Displaying your current hostname
For Fedora Workstation, using the default GNOME desktop, open the Settings application and choose About.

To see the hostname from the command line, use the command `hostnamectl` with no options. The output below shows the static and pretty hostnames:
```
Static hostname: emilys-2nd-dev-laptop
Pretty hostname: Emily's 2nd dev laptop
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 15fc9e69d007013025f31bc5272c4ed1
Boot ID: 41ac938872bae052294bcb277241ac93
Operating System: Fedora 33 (Workstation Edition)
CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:33
Kernel: Linux 5.10.10-200.fc33.x86_64
Architecture: x86-64
```
To see the current **transient** hostname, you can use the command `hostnamectl --transient`. In many cases this will simply be the static name, unless a naming collision with another host has forced a change.
