Thanks for helping out testing. I've gone through bugs you have reported
in a email and have opened a tasks on phabricator board.

The main issue here is, VirtualBox which seems to cause following weird
crashes,

For example, see this different videos by community member

VirtualBox: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaE09uhwl5o
QEMU/KVM: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOFawIzwYz8

Most of the issues you are mentioning (crash and flickering) are seems
to be related to Virtualbox, Given VirtualBox doesn't really have a
great wayland support.

I can't really seem to reproduce it.. but reporting it neverthless.

I don't really know.

That's awkward, what graphics card do you have? if it's intel integrated
graphics it should do reasonably well.

Can you tell me the command line you used to boot up the VM?

Once again, thank you very much for testing this out.
