networkmanager is an overkill imo, plus iirc systemd waits until you're connected to network before showing login prompt

#

dhcpcd (optionally with iwd if I need wireless connection) is what I use

#

also, what is known as drivers on windows is "kernel modules" on linux

drivers is different from kernel modules though

  1. a kernel module CAN be a driver, but doesnt have to be
  2. a driver CAN be a kernel module, but doesnt have to be
