Indeed yes. Does it cover all the options? I never got around to using it. My configuration was nicely handled by nmcli...

My concern about reinstalling the trad. method is that the Gods of Linux will move away from the standard so much that it will ultimately stop working because no one is developing it.

So I am biased towards command line tools for network manager.

YMMV

I don't know how much coverage nmtui provides in comparison to nmcli. I've used it to set up WiFi on new installs and to connect to/disconnect from already-configured VPNs (haven't tried using it to configure a VPN).

This is true. Malware may get inside your networking by exploiting a Windows vulnerability, but it may short lived if detected by anti-virus or cleared by rebooting if non-persistent. However, it can quickly scan the local network to find other systems to infect.

A Raspberry Pi with a default password makes a great a great botnet host as it wont have any additional security software, and will generally be left switched on permanently, with very infrequent software updates.
