network-manager-gnome - no primary & secondary dns possible?



Hello,

on latest Debian 11 + MATE Desktop (it is software simplicity at it's best :)

why is it not possible to set primary & secondary dns via network-manager-gnome? (only "additional dns")

also: it used to be /etc/resolv.conf

where nameservers are set

systemd is doing it’s own thing

/etc/systemd/resolved.conf

and Ubuntu (based on Debian) is doing (again) it’s entirely own thing (netplan)

rendering 99% of all documentation useless X-D and annoys and confuses new users that just “want to set primary dns” in 3 sec not 30min to figure out what system is doing what how.

why not let's do it like that:

1. /etc/resolv.conf should stay what it is

it could be defined in that fiel:

2.1. via #comment in first line what program is in charge of the file

2.2. second #comment line what syntax-format this config file is using (standard X)

simplify! simplify! simplify!

best regards
