help with DNS issues

[opaque swallow]

How do I fix dns issues. whenever I ping 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or google.com it says "100% packet loss" at the end which makes me believe it's a DNS issue. How would I fix this or locate the root source. Clearly ChatGPT is not enough to solve the issue.

this isn't on just my network, it's on every network I connect too btw

this started when I tried connecting to my school wifi and it connects for a few seconds just fine but nothing loads afterwards and I have to restart the networkmanager every time to get it working for another few seconds before being met with nothing loading again.

DNS is responsible for names (google.com) and not IP addresses (1.1.1.1) so if you can't ping neither, the issue is probably somewhere else. since you say restarting networkmanager fixes it for a bit, id recommend you to reset NM configuration for all networks. you can also stop NetworkManager and run in terminal dhcpcd to get a fallback connection, which should work

So I was able to reset the network and reconnect to it and it connected fine until I restarted my computer and the same issue came up. How would I make linux NOT mess up any configurations making everything not connect?
