    Virtual machines have always been supported as long as you enable GPU acceleration. GNOME Boxes, virt-manager, and VirtualBox have been tested.

          but I don’t have to do that for current Pop release… (22.04)

            Doesn’t matter. New compositor: cosmic-comp. Does not share any code with gnome-shell or mutter.

              I understand cosmic-comp is unique. My question is: on current pop os, I don’t need to enable 3d acceleration, so in the upcoming pop os (with cosmic-comp), will it work the same way…?

              I want to avoid using 3d acceleration, because whenever I enable it, my system will get hot and fan will spin regardless of workload

                3D acceleration is required with cosmic-comp right now. I’m not sure if software rendering will be ready or not for the first release, but it is on the issue board.

                  thank you, that’s alright if it is on the issue board. I was wondering if the Cosmic Team was aware of it and planning to add it in the future… Look like it is in good hands
