  • When the host routing table is like this:

    $route
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
    default         192.168.102.1   0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlp19s0f4u1u1
    default         RT-AC86U-6D60   0.0.0.0         UG    20100  0        0 enp15s0
    

    the VM has internet connection. If the defaults are the other way around it doesn’t.


  • This sounds reasonable. Curiously now that I tried again with both host lan & wlan active there was no problem. I have a hunch the routing depends on which interface networkmanger starts first.

    $route
    Kernel IP routing table
    Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
    default         192.168.102.1   0.0.0.0         UG    600    0        0 wlp19s0f4u1u1
    default         RT-AC86U-6D60   0.0.0.0         UG    20100  0        0 enp15s0
    192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     100    0        0 enp15s0
    192.168.100.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 virbr1
    192.168.102.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     600    0        0 wlp19s0f4u1u1
    192.168.122.0   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 virbr0_
    















  • Like the system is not made for working and barely support it for actual computer work.

    Have noticed the same.

    One example why windows is bad for a developer. Lets say you work with node.js Eventually you’ll end up with node_modules directory in you project with tens of thousands of files and thousands of directories. If you delete that directory in windows it takes minutes. In Linux it’s instantaneous.


  • The point here is that the company trusts their employees to use the best tools for them, be secure and do the right thing. Be the most productive. Windows needs that kind of third party snake-oil like AV software and restrictive policies to run it somewhat secure. Most Linux distros are already secure by design out of the box. Drive-by malware and hacking are a thing in windows not Linux.

    Of course there are best practices and guidelines for running your system securely, how to handle sensitive data etc.
