All of a sudden with F35, no matter what the address of the VM is, its hostname is set to fedora. Just fedora. Not fedora.tc.camerontech.com.
I see your pain, that doesn't really work well when you have several Fedora PCs, does it? (I'm Spartacus, and I'm Spartacus, too.)
My quirky humour would have put into the install routine a "name your computer" question. And if you didn't, it'd randomly pick a name from a list to each computer (George, Fred, Jenny, etc) for you.
I want F35 to have the same behavior as previous versions of Fedora and RHEL and Ubuntu and so on. I don't want to manually set /etc/hostname and monkey with hostnamectl because if the VM gets a new address, I don't want to have to go and change /etc/hostname or anything.
I've been poking around with /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
What about customising the dhcp client config? So it accepts the hostname name supplied from your DHCP server, or derived from your reverse DNS lookup, and passes it to whatever is setting the hostname on Fedora these days.
Like you, that's what I expect to happen, *unless* the user specifies otherwise.
