I’ve been running Connman instead of NetworkManager for a week since it is supposed to be more lightweight. Lightweight is good.
However, I had really weird problems with DNS, where some hosts wouldn’t resolve.
$ ping outlook.office365.com

We use Outlook 365 at work, please don’t judge me.
Switching back to NetworkManager solved the problem immediately, so now I can send all those enterprisey emails again. Good times.
