@Tenuis Good find! The network history graph works well for what I want, Thanks.

This is more in the way of public advice for the NetworkManager devs.
Yes, I can contact them directly (see prior posts). I'd like it visible here, too.
The prior versions have a lot of information, nicely compacted into a single popup window, accessible with one click.
It shows the AP list, a set of contact parameters and the graphical rate of data transfer chart.
All in one small popup, off the Launcher.
Not scattered over several screens.
This is a step backward, hopefully it will be "corrected" in future releases...Kubuntu 24.11 64bit under Kernel 6.11.0, Hp Pavilion, 6MB ram. Stay away from all things Google...Comment

Me I love it and would be a little upset if they went "back". I don't want all the graphs and charts most of the time, bordering on never. I want a list of APs. Some on/off buttons.
I do think that perhaps VPN connections might be better in their own collapsible section, so that wireless access points are more readily visible.

@claydoh and GreyGeek
I can understand the desire (my guess here) for a "clean" interface, without extraneous information, but I use the data from the original design every hour of my online time. It feels like obfuscation when that data (listed in my previous post) is now on different screens/windows/popups/pulldowns and I have to click back and forth to read each item, separately. Not conducive to getting my work done n a timely manner. YMMVKubuntu 24.11 64bit under Kernel 6.11.0, Hp Pavilion, 6MB ram. Stay away from all things Google...Comment

You can't please everybody. I align with claydoh and GreyGeek on this. I prefer the neat clean interface and it addresses the basic function of Network Manger, finding and connecting to access points.Linux because it works. No social or political motives in my decision to use it.

Yes, YMMV. The question is maybe how many people are best served by whichever sort of layout is chosen, perhaps? It for me has nothing to do with a "clean" desktop.
I do not quite understand the popups/screens you are mentioning, as the only popup I see is if I want to configure a connection.
**EDIT**
Ok, if one needs to create a connection "from scratch" the Connection Editor does open. Way off to the left, lol, as far away as possible.Comment
