Summary

As always, we've covered a lot of ground in this chapter. We started by comparing NetworkManager to systemd-networkd and systemd-resolved. Next, we looked at how to deal with the Netplan tool on Ubuntu. The RHEL-type distros use NetworkManager by default and don't use Netplan, so we looked at how to convert your Alma machine over to use networkd and resolved. After that, we worked with a couple of diagnostic utilities, and then wrapped things up by briefly looking at the networkd and resolved unit files.

Now, it's time to talk about time, which we'll do in the next chapter. I'll see you there!
