Hello,

Why is there no NetworkManager in ArchISO? Isn't it widely accepted as the go to method of connecting to internet in Linux? Is there any reason for it not to be default?

I would say that the reason NM is not on ArchISO is becaues in the past it didn't have a simple enough support for a console UI, which made it very useless in the ArchISO text-only envrionement. Nowdays, with `nmtui` I'd say it would be ok to have it. NM has been buggy in the past, but these days, it's a great tool. -- damjan
