    I tried a couple recently using qemu. It ran pretty smoothly.

      Yeah I hear good things about qemu. Will really have to reserve some time to learn it some day. And just for kicks I have just tried and installed KDE Neon into VirtualBox too, and damn I am actually surprised how fast Plasma runs under it, definitely faster than Plasma 5 did. Another job well done :)

        Just to get back to you, I installed it as well and I was surprised how fast it ran.

        I couldn’t change the resolution in the VM however. It would only give me a black screen. So I was stuck with a basic small resolution.

        I also noticed that you can’t change the taskbar style from floating to fully a docked taskbar that takes up all the space without gaps. That’s a shame in my opinion. But as soon as you open an application window, it does take that “no gap” shape.

            How did you get to that preference dialogue? I’m dumb.

            I found how to do it. Yeah you can totally disable the floating feature. It’s much better.
