Spent 1 hour 30 minutes trying to figure out why the Laptop's WIFI connection was not working on Ubuntu.
Realized it had a LAN plugged in connected to my desktop.

Pull my hair one by one please.

Shouldn't linux be intelligent enough to use the network adapter which has internet access?

    Happens to me all the time. It's how the IP routing works. And that would bring up a philosophical question: how would you check if you have internet access?

    Ping a root dns server?

    Right, and that's fine when you just want to browse the web, my phone does that and I must say I like it. But if you have multiple interfaces and some of them are connected to private networks, you don't want anything that breaks routing.
