Yes - sorry, I was in a hurry and I goofed. hostnamectl set-hostname [foobar] The hyphen is significant. Raspberry Pi OS? You're more or less completely oon your own. Raspberry Pi OS is its own creature and I assume you're running the 32 bit version since the 64 bit version is still very beta. Ask the Raspberry Pi Foundation. They do things differently there - as you're discovering. If you want to know how to run (fairly) vanilla Debian - but including the non-free raspberry pi firmware and rpi-eeprom - it's possible using either Gunnar Wolf's images or Pete Batard's version of UEFI for the Pi 4 and the Debian arm64 ISO file. _That_ I can help you with.
