Given netplan, I assume you are running ubuntu.

There are quite a few things like that: session handling (for instance, one of my desktop machines takes 90 seconds to shut down, because it can't kill a user's session, and I couldn't figure out why), network configuration (you just alluded), and other smaller annoyances.

Debian seems to be doing better in this regard: I have converted almost all of my machines to debian, where I can run network-manager with a working /etc/resolv.conf (on the desktops), and ifupdown on servers. Debian for me still feels like "the classic old way which I am used to".

I am installing a plain debian and xfce4 for the less-technical family, and my favorite WM for myself.

Try good ol' debian. :)

Indeed. I use xfce and i3 on my laptop, only i3 on my desktop. I could easily switch to debian. Right now it's inertia. I've been dist-upgrading my desktop since 2014 (it came with ubuntu pre-installed), until now, when I reinstalled; I could have taken the opportunity to pick up a new distro, but it's now working again and has a basically static config, so I'm leaving it alone...

On the laptop (I have a new lenovo thinkpad yoga), everything "just works" on ubuntu so I'm reluctant to experiment!
