Known limitations

What does not work well in virtual machines and which alternative we recommend.

On this page

VMware Workstation and VirtualBox

The ISO starts slowly in VMware Workstation and in VirtualBox. The desktop appears without a wallpaper and shows graphics errors. The cause lies in the graphics layer of Hyprland and aquamarine: the virtual graphics driver of these programs is not supported properly there.

What you can do instead

For virtual machines we recommend QEMU with KVM on Linux or UTM on the Mac. The ISO runs much more smoothly there.

Real hardware

As far as we know, this limitation does not affect real computers. Tests on many different devices are still running.

Clipboard

The clipboard between your computer and a VMware virtual machine does not work. Copying and pasting only works inside the virtual machine.
