Questions[interface](ubuntu)

I am trying to add a virtual interface to a bare metal Ubuntu Server 20.10 installation.

I've read that in pre version 20 this wasn't possible in netplan, and that people were reverting to ifup/ifdown. But this is supposed to be possible with what I have.

I am trying to give my server a second interface so I can bind a pihole docker container to said interface.

I see in the netplan docs various interface types, and the closest one is a vlan type, but it doesn't seem that type works with untagged vlans.

In any case, I appreciate any help you can give me.

So I was configuring VS code on my Notebook when suddenly I noticed that my interface font got really small on my desktop, terminal and files.

I use Gnome Tweaks Tool to increase my scaling factor to 1,15 , but, even though it was active, the font stayed tiny.

The solution I found was moving my scaling factor, which instantly fixed my font issue, however, every time I restart my Notebook the font gets tiny again and I have to repeat the process.

I tried reseting my font configuration using this command, but had no success.

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor

I also tried using the command

dconf reset -f /

Finally, I tried using dconf-editor, but still had no success altering the font rendering DPI or changing the scaling factor.

All of the steps I mentioned fixed my fonts temporarily, but the issue still persists when I restart my Notebook

I am out of ideas and even considered getting a fresh Ubuntu install by now...

I use Ubuntu 18.04 and I want to use window top panel for program's panel (Global app menu). In older versions (16.04, 14.04), by default this panel was used to together with program panel. But now they are separated (example in the screenshot).

How can I use top panel on Ubuntu 18.04 like in old version?

Is it possible to bind an arbitrary port, say 1337, to a specific NIC? I have 2 NICs, one configured for IPv4, the other for IPv6. I want to ensure that whenever port 1337 is used, it goes through the IPv6 interface.

I was wondering since Ubuntu 11.04 will include Unity as the default interface, if (when the time comes) I upgrade to 11.04 from 10.10 will my current desktop setup be preserved somewhere, so in case I do not like Unity I can simply switch back to my Gnome desktop
