I wonder if #NetworkManager will integrate as client of networkd? People like to hate NM but I actually like nmcli.

For instance, if I need to throw a bridge, I simply just:

nmcli connection add type bridge ifname br0 stp no
nmcli connection add type bridge-slave ifname enp63s0 master br0
nmcli connection up bridge-br0

NM is just an interface for whatever shenanigans below so I guess it should be possible to interface it to networkd, right?

Is #GNOME going to move forward with this eventually, or is NM going to be ditched? I don’t actually care how soon such thing might happen, I’m just worried about loosing good old NM ;-)

#systemd

I guess NM would just emit and edit .network files, and call it a day?

@vbabka @NetworkManager Probably NM support will happen, given that there is already backend to generate netplan yaml: https://ubuntu.com/core/docs/networkmanager/networkmanager-and-netplan. Such backend is just different same (generate .network files instead of yaml).
