I noticed during the install that my hardwired connection was connecting then disconnecting constantly, but it eventually settled and I continued installation.

Upon first boot, the problem recurred and it simply won't keep the connection. It is Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller.

I am replacing Manjaro, in which it worked and have a dual boot install in which it also works in Windows. No idea how to proceed. Any help appreciated.

  I've seen this in some situations. A potential fix. Right click on the network icon in the system tray, choose edit connections, select your connection in the dialog that pops up and click the cog (or double click on the name), under the IPv6 Settings tab change the Method to Link-Local Only, then click Save.

    Thank you! That did the trick. I am enjoying using your distro and thank you for the hard work.
