    Indeed, gnome-settings-daemon depends on NetworkManager. I guess you are doing Linux from scratch or something because otherwise your distribution package manager should have pulled in NetworkManager when installing GNOME.

      Good one. I guess I could do it in zero clicks by bringing up a terminal and solving the task there.

        That’s right, systemd-networkd is mostly a server/embedded thing as it diesn’t deal with dynamic network configuration.

          This is why I love GNOME: you can agree a lot or nothing at all with their vision, but at least they have one.

            And maybe they will make it to a doctor someday

              This doesn't have to do anything with KDE in itself, although it is easily configurable to be used one-handed with a mouse.
              Think about light usescases like switching between mail client, browser, newsfeeds and adding to a small background music playlist when needed while you use your other hand to eat something you don't want to smear on your keyboard.
              A default Gnome >=3 makes it really hard to use your computer in such situations. And from others who tried achieving that with various addons (or whatever the correct term is with Gnome) i heard that it's simply not worth the effort because those addons are often being unstabe, break with minor updates or are suddenly not maintained anymore.
              Don't get me wrong, i like efficiency that comes with keyboard shortcuts etc. and can't imagine doing serious work without heavily using it, but there's all the other casual stuff one can do with a PC.. a good UI supports you, a bad one forces you to jump through loops.
              Other things are just a matter of taste: I like multitasking and seeing all relevant information all the time, others prefer not being distracted by whatever elements around their application window.

                  that's like 100% incorrect because GNOME has overview and gestures which make it very easy to use the computer with one hand if you so desire.

                      In fact, almost nothing is a "good name" including Firefox, Chromium and Linux.
                      Therefore:
                      A good name should avoid:
                      • Overly complicated names and/or acronyms.
                      • Puns and inside jokes.
                      • Non-standard punctuation (for example: SuperWriter).
