Are there any objective differences between running NetworkManager and changing resolve.conf in the following manners? See method #1 and method #2 below. They appear to produce identical results in Ubuntu 18.04.



Method #1: resolv.conf



sudo rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo gedit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
# then added the google nameservers to my file, adding this line.
nameserver 8.8.8.8


Method 2: NetworkManager

    #1 changes the symlink for /etc/resolv.conf (to try and cure DNS resolution issues in 18.xx) and adds a nameserver (should use the DNS=) to systemd-resolve. #2 uses NetworkManager via a GUI to change the DNS servers. (Note: you really should settle down a bit and consolidate all of your various network questions, down to one question, accompanied by a little research first).

    Also, when starting graphic applications from the terminal command line, use sudo -H instead of just sudo, or you may create a login loop for your username.
