Michael, I am wondering if I can persuade you to reconsider this? Looking at the sources, if hostnamed is not available, network-manager falls back to reading /etc/hostname. My testing of network-manager in cinnamon, xfce4, mate and budgie is that it functions correctly. If network-manager limits itself to libpam-systemd, many desktops are not installable on non-systemd systems even though the are/could be functional. Thanks for thinking again. Mark
