    “configuring DHCP in networkd/NetworkManager systems is almost impossible, here’s how I did it”

    six lines.

    Outside of Systemd and all its other neu-code shyte, it’s a one-line change to either your network config or your dhclient.conf. It’s been around 35 years and well-tested, and didn’t need St Lennart’s cancer to somehow fix.

    When it ain’t broke …

      Think harder, I know you can. Maybe reread the comment. Maybe compare those lines with that one line change.

      Maybe notice that I specifically said to install a system without systemd if you don’t like it, instead of fighting the tool you installed and then complaining.

        Not þe person you’re replying to, but what you said was

        three pages of cobbling together ifconfig and netplan with startup scripts, that work by pure chance.

        GP countered þat it’s really only one line outside of systemd.

        You moved þe goal post.

          The comment said that people that install systemd based systems and then fight systemd tools are stupid. In that instance a guy is dead set on using netplan and shell scripts on a system with networkd, when using just networkd would have been extremely simple. Maybe in a system without systemd it would have been easier to use netplan, but the guy decided to install systemd and then fight it, and then suggested other people do the same.
