TUI for Managing WiFi on Linux

This looks really nice, I like the design, congrats.<p>I’ve been getting into Arch (with Sway) recently and resisted installing something like this initially since as they say, the manual install process is the tutorial.<p>Getting basic WiFi connected with DHCP on vanilla Arch requires enabling multiple services and conf file edits - you rage against the machine thinking why is it so hard but then realise you just learnt how to swap out any part of your network stack (or the other fun footgun of installing multiple conflicting network managers to intermittently and silently break your connection). Anyway, rant over, not going back to Ubuntu anytime soon.

Doesn&#x27;t nmtui come installed by default?

What does this do that `nmtui` doesn&#x27;t?<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computernetworkingnotes.com&#x2F;linux-tutorials&#x2F;the-nmtui-command-and-utility-on-linux.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.computernetworkingnotes.com&#x2F;linux-tutorials&#x2F;the-...</a><p>EDIT: OK, it doesn&#x27;t need network-manager. But I suspect about 99% of Linux installations do have that installed already, and if you need to get online, it&#x27;s more useful to know the existing tool than a clever alternative you don&#x27;t have installed.

I wish they made a debian package that came with &quot;iwd&quot;, to use after you installed Debian with a desktop, but NetworkManager is not installed for some reason!

This is awesome, I&#x27;m going to try this out because the first thing I do on an Alpine Linux desktop&#x2F;laptop install is replace nm with iwd.

The number of times I have accidentally broken the wifi&#x2F;Internet GUI on my os during updates, this could actually come in handy.

While I tend to prefer gui, this seems really nice to have. I&#x27;d kind of like to see everything in the GTK Settings panel available in a friendly text ui form.
