why is gnome network manager such a pita to work with? it can never get opvnvpn settings right. there's no easy way to control vpn with nmcli because your cli environment is different from dbus environment. what a fuckin joke>muh skill issuetry to set a vpn auto reconnect systemd service with a ddns vpn server and make it work reliably. I dare you
ive tried using pptp on linux and i just installed windowa in vm

>>108513651>gnomeFound your problem.
>>108513651>vpn>vpn>vpnwhat do people use vpns for? i've never once needed a vpn.
usecase for basic network settings being accessible to the user?
>>108513651Imagine after all that happened being so low IQ that you still use dbus and systemd.
>>108513709no thats just what linux software looks like
>>108513651>ubuntuyup, skill issue
>>108513709That's like, GNOME 20 or something.
>>108515828You can't remove dbus and systemd from linux. It's literally impossible. Unless you run a small CLI-only system, or android.
>>108513651Your mistake is assuming you can make a complex setup with a GUI
>>108515809get a job loser>>108513651learn where it stores the config files.
>>108516505>stores the config filesyou have no idea what you're dealing with lol
>>108516638? i manage my network shit with nmcli, but you can just put files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections or something like that. the only part i'm not sure of its the vpn part because i've always just set up openvpn with config files in /etc/openvpn. i don't know what the gui does.
>>108515809Oh you didn't know ?The America is the best and most freest country in the world unless you download something off the torrent and you get immediately a warning from your ISP or they come up with lawsuit immediately.
>>108516757>I'm not sure the vpnthen look up what op said and stfu

>>108516291You literally can, problem is that lots of new software is a pain in the ass to compile without cancerware, but this recent shitshow may gently persuade more people in that direction.
>>108517073Nope. "Core" software like udev is part of systemd now.
>>108516989That screenshot is from around 2018. Modern Ubuntu looks nowhere near like that.
