I'm trying to create a network bridge so my VM's can speak to each other, and access the internet. Using Reborn OS which is a KDE desktop. i don't want to disable the KDE network manager as i use this to connect to other wireless networks whilst on the go.

I'm also trying to write a setup script to automate this process..

i've been reading this article but will it do what i want?

  • There needs to be a narrow, specific question about a problem you encountered during the course of software development that's self-contained in the text of what you post here. Links are fine for supplemental information, but a question can't rely on them for its core content: part of the ethos here is that we're building a long-lived knowledge base; that knowledge base needs to remain useful to people even if off-site links die. – Charles Duffy Aug 27 '23 at 02:39
  • And note "narrow, specific" and "during the course of software development". "Is this script fit to purpose?" is not narrow and specific -- there's no end of ways something could fail. "How do I set up bridged networking on Arch?", on the other hand, isn't _software development_ at all. But if you _try_ to write a script to set up bridged networking on Arch, _and then encounter a specific problem_ that our knowledgebase doesn't cover (and that problem is specific to the scripting aspect and isn't something you could also hit while setting up bridging by hand), _that_ could be on-topic here. – Charles Duffy Aug 27 '23 at 02:40

    ...insofar as something _is_ a problem you could also hit while setting up bridging by hand, though, [unix.se] is liable to be the better place to ask. (Same rules mostly apply there too, though, about questions needing to be self-contained, not duplicative, and narrowly and specifically defined, vs a vague "what _could_ go wrong?") – Charles Duffy Aug 27 '23 at 02:41
