My friend didn't have a great experience with Linux

I have been daily driving Linux for over two years now and I have switched distros many times. So, when my friend bought a new laptop, I convinced him to install Linux Mint on it.

Do you have a more complicated shell history scheme than the distro default?

I’ve used distrobox more and more and am at the point where I need to start saving and integrating history differently.

No internet in virtual machine

I have on the host machine two network interfaces. One is lan and the other is a wlan. For libvirt I have created a nat network which is bound to the wlan. From the guest I can access other machines in the network host wlan is connected to. Also DNS lookup works. The problem is that there’s no connection to the internet at...
