Hello everyone.
I'm using Kumander Linux and I'm really enjoying it.
How to change terminal prompt: C:/home/username
For this: username@hostname:~$
I would like to return to the default prompt.
Thanks!

Hey dodtrax,
Open up your terminal and type
This opens up bash's(your shell) configuration file in a command line text editor called nano. Then at the very end put
Ctrl + o to save
Ctrl + x to exit
You can also do this.
Open your file manager. Then in your home folder press
Ctrl + h. This shows hidden files in your folder. Locate the file called
.bashrc and then edit it by double clicking it. Paste the PS1 bit at the end. Save the file.
Open a new terminal and see your new prompt in action. Give the
arch wiki a read to learn more about prompt customization.
Welcome to the forums btw
