There have been significant issues with GNOME and KDE Plasma on VirtualBox over the past few years. Honestly, we need to start regularly testing it, because the guest integration is brittle and nobody notices until it's too late. I personally do testing on VMware for KDE Plasma because otherwise it'd never get tested and issues would never get fixed. The most recent issue is that it's unbearably slow and sometimes suffers serious graphics corruption unless 3D acceleration is turned on. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
