Divide command prompt into multiple lines

Question

When working on the terminal like:

algorithms@assistant:~$ ls
Desktop    Downloads  Music     Public  Templates         Videos
Documents  gtd.org    Pictures  snap    version-check.sh

the command ls is constantly aligned with username@hostname.

How could I separate them into independent lines? Example:

algorithms@assistant:
~$ ls

A bit more detail of Soren A comment. Edit the file .bashrc with editor.

editor ~/.bashrc

Then lockup for the following line

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '

Add the \n (new line) special character just before the \$ at the end of the line. You should have a line looks like :

PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\n\$ '
