Installing Network Manager on Raspbian 2020-02-05

NOTE:
This guide was written more than two years ago, which in Pi years means it's now graduated college, or something. Inevitably, it's at least a little out of date, and it may even be entirely misleading. There are several helpful suggestions in the comments (thanks everyone), and most recently a report that what's here plain doesn't work on current (early 2022) Raspbian. Which isn't even called 'Raspbian' any more.
As of Jan 2022 I'm partially back in my office-which-has-access-to-eduroam, and I do have a need to build up a fresh Pi desktop. If and when I get that working I'll update this guide. In the meantime: good luck, and please leave a comment to report success or failure.
(June 2022) Nope, I still haven't actually tried any of this myself. However, I have had to troubleshoot eduroam wifi on my Linux ThinkPad. As of Ubuntu 22.04 it would no longer connect. [This Stack Exchange answer](https://askubuntu.com/questions/27976

[LINUX] Factorio Headless Server Guide

So, with credit to the Factorio wiki and cbednarski's helpful gist, I managed to eventually setup a Factorio headless server. Although, I thought the process could be nailed down/simplified to be a bit more 'tutorialised' and also to document how I got it all working for my future records.

The specific distro/version I'm using for this guide being Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS. Although, that shouldn't matter, as long as your distro supports systemd (just for this guide, not a Factorio headless requirement, although most distros use it as standard now). The version of Factorio I shall be using is 0.14.20, although should work for any version of Factorio 0.14.12 and higher.

Just a note to newcomers: If there are any issues with the installation steps, people in the comments are doing a good job
