From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I think it's just that the defaults for NetworkManager don't play nice with systemd, wpa_supplicant would take several minutes to connect to my wifi, and dhcpd just dropped my connection after I rebooted the router (for unrelated purposes) and would reconnect for about a minute before it dropped it again.
I've still been having an issue where if I reboot the computer, NetworkManager will hang up the boot process indefinitely, but this doesn't happen if I shut it down and then turn it back on with the power button. Still haven't figured that one out, all of my research said that this issue was supposed to have been fixed with the last update, but not for me I guess!
Yeah, it's known to not play nice with dhcpcd. I've been using nm's built-in dhcp client. Otherwise dhclient's been known to work. Not sure about the wpa_supplicant part as it never cause me any issue by itself.
