Have you tried Okular?

Have you checked the source code that they actually respect private dns setting for their tracking? Or otherwise verified that no traffic goes to google tracking servers?

This command won't show the real values when using btrfs. You need to use sudo btrfs filesystem usage <mount point>.

Have an idea which might solve this.

1. Change the vm net config to NOT bind to specific host interface
2. Change host networks so that there's only one default route (lan)
3. Add routing to host that all traffic which goes to 192.168.102.x goes through the host wlan connection

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_

Removing a pattern doesn't unfortunately remove the packages it installs. Only the pattern "package" is removed.

OpenSuse Tumbleweed uses 2.38 so not affected by this.

Depends on the engineering field, I have out a few specific examples of highly payed engineering fields that can’t get away from Windows.

Do share what they are.

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.

Yes its the same document. The only thing I did is “open a copy” because the document was locked in the other editor.

If you just copy paste something it's not the same. If you want to make a true comparison you have open the same file in both.

People share unfinished documents with each other and formatting should hold, otherwise how can you collaborate?

And I was talking about finished documents.

That's Firefox's fault not the plugins. They don't allow any plugin to run in internal pages.
