I missed NETworkManager on Windows so I built a Linux equivalent (github.com)

Clarification on the name: the project is called NMLinux — not NetworkManager. The title refers to NETworkManager by BornToBeRoot (https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager), a Windows GUI tool for network diagnostics that I wanted on Linux. NMLinux has nothing to do with the Linux NetworkManager daemon (/usr/bin/NetworkManager). I've added a note to the README to make this clearer.

     /usr/bin/NetworkManager --no-daemon
This has already existed in Linux for quite some time. Is this AI stealing names again?

NMLinux is actually a Linux port/adaptation of NETworkManager by BornToBeRoot (https://github.com/BornToBeRoot/NETworkManager) — a Windows tool. The name comes from that inspiration, not from the Linux NetworkManager daemon.
