My desktop has less then 1/3rd of time network connectivity running Ubuntu 18.04 I'm trying to back up and reinstall 16.04 LTS because in the ubuntu community nobody wants to help remove the netplan blackbox network support that cannot be configured and replace it with the ifupdown version
When i installed this laptop from scratch with 18.04 it didn't have any network support at all, so i immediately reinstalle to 16.04
the reason this is happening is that canonical wants users to have black-box networking
the only thing you can select is wired or wifi and set the ssid/password for your wifi connection
I cannot move forward because of the failing network support
if I move to 18.04 i lose network connectivty then i lose my livelyhood and my business
