then start systemd-networkd, create file:

/etc/systemd/network/20-wired.network
[Match]
Name=enp0s3 # or whatever the interface is named

[Network]
Address=10.1.10.9/24
Gateway=10.1.10.1
DNS=10.1.10.1

Then link in resov files

ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
systemctl --now enable systemd-resolved

Then turn on networkd:
systemctl --now enable systemd-networkd
