You can customize the prompt in your command line. The prompt is the thing that is displayed left of your cursor when you first start a Terminal. My prompt is mislav@mislavovo-racunalo:workingDirectory

I won’t go into details here, because I don’t care about fancy – I care about day-to-day Linux usage, and customizing the prompt doesn’t fit that topic. You can find more about it here: (“How To Customize Bash Prompt In Linux,” n.d.) and (Shotts, 2019).
Thank you for reading!
