Because many home networks do have a working DHCP server (typically the internet modem/router) it makes sense to have this as a *default* configuration. It just works for so many users. I'm using as static network right now, as I'm sure many other debian-user readers do. It is a basic functionality of every software designed to manage your network, including Network Manager. In order to switch to static one has to figure out: 1. How is networking configured on this particular device If you can't figure it out ask the ones providing the device/software. In case of Raspbian / Armbian it is *not* Debian (the clue is in the name). 2. What is the *correct* method to alter its configuration This is usually quite straightforward once you figured out 1.
