[ Solved ] Proper way of changing username in Sparkylinux

[way12go]

   

I would recommend not attempting to change a user's name.

This is generally wrought with problems when the user's name

is statically referenced in configuration files in the form of the user's home directory,

/home/<username>. These are almost never written in a generic way so

it's usually best to just create a new username and then migrate the user's

files and data over to the new account.
