From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

windows 10 ltsc iot inside qemu/kvm using virt-manager question (lemmy.ml)

I would like to install windows 10 ltsc iot inside qemu/kvm using virt-manager. My question is will this be completely isolated from the host os (linux mint 22.3 cinnamon)?

I am used to running virtual machines on windows 10 using virtualbox. I just wanted to confirm that this setup should be good before going ahead. I intend to run only open source software on the linux install and this is a closed source / hostile / untrustworthy OS. I wanted to make sure it is fully isolated like I am used to with virtualbox.

Thank you.

Yes that sounds correct, the traffic would go through the host so if the host is on VPN then the VM should be on that as well when in NAT mode.

Haven't done that myself, maybe just do some testing to make sure that's working as expected e.g. could be worthwhile to test what happens when the VPN drops out on the host and see how the VM behaves in that scenario. I don't know how a kill switch would behave with that setup (or if you even need it, just mentioning).
