How to change the name of the network interface
I have two WiFi adapters on my laptop, a USB dongle and the builtin one. I just want to change the name of the interface to more friendly name. e.g wlp8s0 to BuiltIn or wlx0022c0789668 to D-Link like the screen shot below.
I'm using Kubuntu 18.04 and the suggested similar questions are for 15.04 and there is no any clear description on how to perform that.
