Hi all,
I have been putting off migrating from VirtualBox to QEMU/KVM because for almost two years every time I tried to figure out how to setup the guest VM to be on the same subnet, I either got to a thread that got me more confused than before (for example this thread) or got me to end up disabling my host network by obviously making a mistake (for example this site).
I do admit sometimes it is too overwhelming to read all different advises and end up with nothing or not get anywhere.
I only want to achieve same results as VirtualBox, meaning guest being on same subnet as host (192.168.0.x), but with virt-manager, and regular NAT connection internet works but guest is on (192.168.122.x).
The setup of hypervisor was through YaST by installing KVM Server and libvirt LXC daemon. Installed virt-manager, qemu-kvm, and libvirt-client through zypper.
sudo virsh net-autostart default
sudo usermod -a -G libvirt USERNAME
sudo usermod -a -G kvm USERNAME
Right now I have:

I created the br0 following this website but instead of using ‘nmtui’ I used NetworkManager connections and gave it 192.168.0.192 as a static IP thinking I can dedicate the said IP to that VM on my router (which I used to do when using VirtualBox) so I can port forward to guest VM.
I would appreciate if someone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I am not as tech savvy as most people are, but I try my best.
Greatly appreciate your help and guidance.
