first of all, NetworkManager sets my DNS to 127.0.0.53. No DNS service is running by default. I installed dnsmasq, but it still fails to look names up. I added some dns servers to the resolv.conf.d/head This lets me look stuff up with nslookup when i try to ping by name, it cant find it despite it working in nslookup. ping google.com does eventually work, but it takes a good 10-15 seconds to resolve.
