This file does not exist on my rather plain ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

I tried finding similarly named files, to no avail. Knowing the notorious ADHD of the systemd developership, I wouldn't be surprised if this file is moved, renamed, and uses a different format every six months.

/lib/systemd/network

http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/focal/man5/systemd.netwo...

or

find / -name '*.network'

But yeah, BSD's would have them at one place -> /etc ...linux-distro standardization is a terrible mess.

That's not a systemd thing, that's a distro thing. The default path is where it gets put if it's part of the base system, if it's installed from a package or if the distro makers decide to change it (because maintainers forks of projects often change things) it'll be elsewhere. But the systemd project doesn't control that.

EG Debian's systemd fork puts it in /lib/systemd/network/ (and lots of other network files in /usr/lib/systemd/network/).
