Ah, sorry, I didn't read properly.
the problem here i describe is not a changing hostname of some sort. but to merely print some say courier fontfaced text with a constant string. pretty simple. but how to put it without editing the jpeg or whatever graphics files of some designs of kde and so on? how to only add some simple text ontop?
You'd need to tell us which display manager and which screensaver you use, but then you can read their manpages as well as us, I suppose.
I asked the original question - I'm using KDE, sddm and no screensaver. If there's a man page that'll help me put the hostname on the login and lock screen, do tell!
Well , looking at the "sparse" docu / man-pages, (joke! I tell you.) even looking at the code upstream (https://github.com/sddm/sddm), it looks like either your theme provides a special space for the hostname, or you are out of luck. AFAICT, there is no theme that provides a placeholder for a "hostname". So, no-go with the hyped sddm for this case.
