discussion/tracker: overall strategy for systemd-networkd support (alternative to NetworkManager) #986

Open jokeyrhyme opened 6 days ago

jokeyrhyme commented 6 days ago

My use case is that my system does not have NetworkManager ( https://www.networkmanager.dev/ ) at all, rather my system uses systemd-networkd ( https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-networkd.html )

There are enough different components that touch NetworkManager that I figured it might be useful to collect these all together in one issue/thread here:

I previously raised an issue for this ( https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-applets/issues/304 ), but that was only against one of the above

I did raise one PR already ( https://github.com/pop-os/cosmic-greeter/pull/129 ), but I think it'd be better to understand the overall strategy here so that the compatibility abstraction can be done in one place (or as few places as possible)
