Bug ID: 387920
Summary: Implement network priority using the main network
list, via drag-and-drop
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.11.4
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
plasma-nm's network priority feature is a bit hidden: System Settings >
Connections > [the network you want to prioritize] > General Configuration >
Priority
macOS has (or had) a more discoverable and humane system: the list of networks
*is* the priority queue, and you just re-order the items directly, via
drag-and-drop. This StackExchange answer shows it:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/45703/257388
For a real-world illustration of the impact of low discoverability: not knowing
about this feature cost me $15 tonight after I accidentally did a kernel
upgrade using my expensive metered wifi hotspot, which plasma-nm did not
de-prioritize in favor of my home wifi after I got home in the evening because
I didn't know about the priority feature.
