I was working with Ubuntu 20.04 until they switched to Netplan instead of networkd/interfaces. The YAML files were really hard to manage. They might have used clearer, declarative rules without messy gaps. I’m moving toward Debian but some servers will stay on Ubuntu for the near future. I want to master Netplan via SSH, skip learning YAML syntax entirely. If I need to fetch and edit configs on Windows, should I use Notepad++? Does it reliably check YAML structure? Probably not—consider alternatives. For portability, UTF-8 encoding is a good choice since servers run there.
