Hi, my case was similar, while in Debian I use just /etc/network/interfaces file or NM, in a Dell laptop with Arch I was using Wicd until it got more or less abandoned and out of official repositories (like in Debian, IIRC), so, following Arch wiki instructions, I changed Wicd for the systemd-networkd+iwd combo, and the Wi-Fi connections are working fine (previously, wpa_supplicant gave me some persistent problems...). So, I can say that it's a pretty functional and simple tool for the task. Meaning, it works. Just my cents of noise ;) Kind regards and thanks to everybody!
