I don't use Network Manager or YaST for that manner, I use cli and edit
files. I want to control it. What I hate, but I think I in the minority,
now the nic name.

Why was ethx so wrong? Why do we need to rename it en or p1px? I guess I am
getting old because if it not broken, that mess with it.

I personal don't like systemd, but I again Minority. Life was simple when
it was nics were ethx.

LOVE LIVE CLI, death to GUI.....
