Description
### Feature Description
I'd love to see DMS automatically handle a few "quality of life" configurations when it detects a minimal Debian install (without a full DE). Currently, a fresh install on Debian leaves the network "unmanaged" and the keyring inactive, which breaks the DMS Network UI and VPNs like Proton.
Specific changes to automate:
NetworkManager Config: Automatically set managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. Currently, it defaults to false, making Ethernet invisible in the DMS settings
Keyring Autostart: Ensure gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=secrets is triggered. Without this, the Network UI is blank/broken and cannot save passwords
### Use Case
This would be a lifesaver for anyone coming from Arch or doing a "netinst" of Debian! Right now, if you just install Niri + DMS, your Ethernet shows as "Disconnected" even if you're online. Automating these small tweaks would make the "out-of-the-box" experience feel way more polished especially for broke college students who just want their stuff to work without diving into terminal configs for an hour.
