I like Linux, and I don't plan to use anything else, but yesterday my internet broke because swapping the GPU changed the name of the network interface

    That is pretty annoying. I'm thinking of buying a new GPU myself. My Internet also runs off PCIE so I could go through the same thing as well? I wish I had another GPU to try this out.

    I did look it up, it seems to come from the way BIOS names resources. Im surprised software such as Network Manager does not pick up on stuff like this.

    It certainly could happen. You won't have a problem, either NM will figure it out or you can easy change the network manually. It's just that Linux is inaccessible to a typical person until stuff like that doesn't happen:

    To be fair, typical people also don't swap their GPU.
