You should install Debian on the laptop instead of running it though a VM. Or a friendlier Debian-based distro like Mint. I don’t know if that’ll fix that issue specifically but it’s generally easier to debug and handle network issues when it’s not running through a VM. At the very least, you’ll get a more lightweight OS and learn lots!

Yep! It’s just a laptop, nothing different about it. I’ve installed Ubuntu and Windows alongside MacOS on my 2015 MacBook Pro.

Your system probably goes to sleep. Not just screen but also hard disk sleep. Install Amphetamine on it and its companion app. They will work as supercharged Caffienate and keep the system awake even at lid close.
