I have VM in NAT mode mostly these days, but sometimes I need bridged network to recognize some hardware on the network, Mikrotik WiFi routers or printers so I need ability to go to bridge. If this with NetworkManager-config-server package works, I can at most times (if I want) plug a LAN to my laptop and be happy. I do not use LUKS so suspend until I get home 10 minutes later is ok. > > My laptop is at least as powerful as most of our servers, and it works > great for development purposes.
