       "So you gotta install `networkmanager` package and `network-manager-applet` (mark the spelling` and then systemd enable `NetworkManager` (mixed case!), otherwise it will not work"why is Arch like this :sad:

       @kaia That's how the actual projects are named upstream. And all the executables are also nm* without a dash while the applet executable is nm-applet

       @kaia It's a gatekeeping mechanism to keep down the number of people exclaiming that they use Arch, btw.It's for the greater good.

       @kaia arch has a guideline that dictates that every package should be all lowercasebut also they try to not patch much about packages so they just end up with this weird situationthough it's also funny because as far as I know networkmanager is the only program that has an uppercase sysd service

       @kaia this isn't arch. Every distro has that. It's a NeTwOrK MaNAgEr thingy.

       @chjara @kaia @rose actually, both are freedesktop so maybe there is indeed some relation

       @kaia Pfft, that's just your individual perspective as one of those people who install NM with the unusual goal of using it for its intended purpose. You can't expect them to cater to such a rare use case.
