--- Comment #10 from Aaron Rainbolt <arraybolt3 at gmail.com> ---
Blindly enabling 3d acceleration in a VM could be dangerous for security
reasons - the 3d drivers provide a potential for VM escape. A solution that
works for me is to change the graphics controller to VBoxSVGA - this does not
require enabling 3d acceleration, and I get a full Plasma 6 desktop. Seems to
work so far - Firefox is working, video on Reddit is working, Plasma Welcome is
working.
