Hi Gene,
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.
All the very best, as ever
Andy Cater
