i don't wish to start an argument, but just to ask: everyone has recommended NetworkManager for workstations. i've been running systemd-networkd on everything (servers, laptops, and workstations) for several years now, usually in conjunction with dnsmasq and wpa_supplicant, and it's been pretty great. what does NetworkManager offer that makes it superior to systemd-networkd on the desktop (which i'm interpreting to mean "for interactive use")? i'm not doubting its advantages, just ignorant of them. =] it seems to me that unifying the network stack has some value all its own. -- nick black -=- https://www.nick-black.com to make an apple pie from scratch, you need first invent a universe.
