[Bug 2066700] Re: systemd-networkd is inactive by default since ubuntu 23.10?

[Nick Rosbrook]

As far as I know, systemd-networkd has never been enabled by default for
Desktop installations. It is enabled by default on Server installations.

** Changed in: netplan.io (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
