Problems with internet

I don't have internet tray icon and I don't have my cable connection listed in Wi-Fi and Internet settings page and it doesn't see any nearby Wi-Fi networks. I'm using Arch for about 2 weeks now and before I was hopping from Manjaro to EndavourOS and ended up on Arch because I felt like those distros were bloated and that's why I left windows but they had internet configured from the get go. I've installed dhcpcd and I have networkmanager and they're running and operating (at least I think so). The other issue is after sometime my connection seems to drop and only reboot helps. I'd really appreciate every input and thanks for your time.
That's the output of ip link show:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether c8:7f:54:67:6e:47 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

Re: Problems with internet

Part of the problem is most likely conflicting nework managers. Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-45s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Cheers,

Re: Problems with internet

I have managed to fix it. Turns out NetworkManager.service wasn't running on boot so I run command line to make it run on boot. Issue with connection loss was due to Power Managment, I found the solution on reddit. Oddly enouh people who had the same problem have the same motherboard Asus ROG STRIX X670E-A and fix was to add a line to grub config file but for now I can't confirm if I managed to fix it with this soultion.

Re: Problems with internet

You will want to disable systemd-networkd and all services related to it (other than maybe systemd-resolved) if you're actually using networkmanager.

Does it cause any interference and what should I use next time? I'm going to reinstall system anyway, I treat this installation as a experiment. I was trying out different apps and software especially in audio department and downloaded a lot of packs and didn't remove them.

Re: Problems with internet

Mixing network managers always has a chance to cause interference. If you intend to use NetworkManager, do not enable systemd-networkd as well and vice versa. You might not notice a fallout since systemd-networkd is not going to do anything without specific configuration, you shouldn't rely on this fact and your wasting resources keeping a service alive that does nothing.
