I use my own specific naming convention on my home network, having to be forced into googling what command line options I have to throw in just to allow those names simply degrades the user experience for anyone going a bit more "advanced".

I would rather see this being editable during setup. You can have it autopopulate as the user types in a username, but still allow for someone to edit it right there (wasn't this how it used to be?).
eg: I type in "ward" as username and the computer name becomes "ward-desktop" as I type, but if I feel like changing that then it's just a matter of editing the box.
Using command line juggling for something as straightforward as this seems like overkill.
