Please keep in mind that NetworkManager is primarily a backgrounded daemon, with two CLI reference frontends -- nmtui and nmcli. network-manager-applet, which most people think of as "NetworkManager", is actually a thirdparty GUI for NetworkManager, developed by some of the same people as a separate project. Said GUI is not even installed with networkmanager, it is a completely separate package that *depends* on networkmanager. Please learn more about your system/tools before passing judgment on them. -- Eli Schwartz
