Disable network manager (permanently)

The method depends on desktop environment:

• For Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS purging network-manager package is safe. You can simply run:

  sudo apt-get purge network-manager
  

• For Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and 20.04 LTS with GNOME desktop purging network-manager package will also purge ubuntu-desktop and gnome-control-center (essential part of GNOME desktop). So it is not an option.

  Here you should disable NetworkManager service (as you have already done):

  sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service
  sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service
  

  and three more services:

  sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager-wait-online.service
  sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
  
  sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
  sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
  
  sudo systemctl stop network-manager.service
  sudo systemctl disable network-manager.service
  

  and then reboot.
