A script to switch from dhcpcd to systemd-networkd on Raspberry Pi OS

switch-from-dhcpcd-to-systemd-networkd-pi-os.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Use systemd-networkd instead of dhcpcd as the DHCP client for Raspberry Pi OS
# remember to use wpa_passphrase to add SSID & PW to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

# checking sudo privilege

if [[ "$EUID" -ne 0 ]]; then
  echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2   # redirect stdout to stderr
  exit 1
