That's unfortunate to hear. Perhaps you could check out the
network-manager-service-type? I believe it includes a parameter that
lets you tell NetworkManager not to overwrite /etc/resolv.conf. The
command-line interface for NetworkManager is called nmtui. This is what
I use on my machine.

(use-modules (ice-9 rdelim))

(define my-host-aliases (with-input-from-file "/path/to/your/file"
                                               (lambda () (read-delimited ""))))

Happy hacking,
