Always better to have redundancy. Doesn’t your ISP (or whatever they call the people you pay money to for your internet) ‘give’ you a list of name servers?

You probably just need to use your desktop environment (gnome, etc) and go into network settings and change it there to a static DNS server.

I looked into the file (as suggested) and it says not to edit manually.

On my Linux boxes (Linux Mint), there is /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d dir which has 3 files: base, head, tail.
Put ‘nameserver 8.8.8.8’ into base (or tail) and it should always get added to resolv.conf every reboot. (You might look at all 3 files, my favourite trick for this is:
more /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/*|less
and see what’s in them before you start.)
