Using Ubuntu MATE 20.04 desktop as KVM host machine. The OS uses Network Manager by default. I prefer using the netplan configuration file to set up my bridge, dns, etc. The netplan file of course shows network manager as my renderer. For now I have configured my setup using Network Manager on the command line.
If I understand correctly, to use netplan, like I am used to on my server, I can disable Network Manager, and enable systemd-networkd, and then use networkd as my renderer. Of course doing this disables all of the network manager GUI stuff on the desktop. Is there a cleaner way in order to use the netplan configuration file vs. network manager?
