Is systemd-networkd the default on Debian?
Sadly, no. It is the best network management tool for configuration managed servers I have seen in 25 years of Linux experiences. It is totally useable since bookworm and has the best IPv6 support I have ever seen (up to prefix delegation both as a client and as a server).
It leaves things to be desired - sadly, there is no desktop support at the moment, no desktop applets, no wireless, and to my knowledge no 802.1X (yet, that is missing on the server side).
And I would like it to keep record of what it has configured so that it can deconfigure things even when the configuration was changed in the mean time. But that is something that no network management tools other than the one I wrote in the early 2000s ever did.
