Research direction

Review the issue's naming concern and compare the project name with the FreeDesktop NetworkManager service linked in the report. Determine whether the requested outcome is a rename and what project-wide scope that would entail; the issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so completion criteria are not yet defined.

Description

:wave: Help wanted

There is a (mostly?) Linux network configuration service NetworkManager.

Considering this name had been already marked as misleading, using a name of very widely used service creates name conflict which may (uh i suck at writing…)

Just when you search for NetworkManager you get plenty of results for FreeDesktop's NetworkManager which, as both are related to computer networking, use the same terms.
