I would never purge ifupdown. I like the nice configuration in one file
that you can find no matter if it is an old or new Debian installation.
We had to migrate a lot of VMs from one infrastructure to another. VMs
with the good old eth0/1/2 interfaces were the easiest. No changes here.
The „new” ensXYZ interfaces (what a bullshit) had to be changed. Debian
systems with /etc/network/interfaces were simple. One file for all
changes.
Centos has its files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. Okay, was alright
as well.
And then was the Ubuntu bullshit with NM. Where are the configuration
files now? And Ubuntu 24 migrated everything to Netplan. Where is the
stupid configuration now?
So, no, never. Ifupdown is the correct way for a Debian installation.
