after doing so i disabled/enabled systemd-networkd.service and now the Connection settings under Network on System settings won’t add a new connection, the add button works fine but after clicking on save it just doesn’t add anything to it.
also there is no tray icon for connections.
is this a side affect / bug for disabling/reenabling systemd-networkd.service*? or is it because of the file i added to /etc/systemd/network/?
i wanted to configure a static ip by using the Connection settings but i couldn’t figure it out how to do it.
btw my connection is working but i would like to restore the tray icon and make the connections editor work properly.

Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.
nmcli is the CLI tool of choice to set fixed IP addresses…
what i meant by “i don’t use backups” was that i don’t use backups for my system itself. all my important files are on different partitions, external drives, etc, my system is not my data
i do backup config files so i can reuse them, which is sort of a backup.
As you’re diving into your system configuration anyway, Kernel 5.9 is EOL so please install both 5.4 and 5.10 LTS (Long Time Support) and see which one of the two troubles you least.
As you didn’t provide any other info, no further optimizations can be given
