Well I stick to PIOS simple because it is the documented standard.
Networking is handled by the Network Manager and it gets tricky to set
that up without a console screen/keyboard at least - but there is a
great utility called nmcli I think that 'does everything' once you have
learnt its magic spells.

 There's also nmtui, which works in the same places nmcli does, but is much
easier to navigate.
 

Indeed yes. Does it cover all the options? I never got around to using it. My configuration was nicely handled by nmcli...
My concern about reinstalling the trad. method is that the Gods of Linux will move away from the standard so much that it will ultimately stop working because no one is developing it.
So I am biased towards command line tools for network manager.
YMMV

Those who leap high the battle dance and dream of glory … The good of dead warriors, Mother, is that they are dead.
