Yes, that is one possibility. Another possibility is how linuxmint copes with the virtualbox hardware. (I'm thinking fiercy versus lazy hardware checks, but can't tell). And there is a thrid option I think about: Could nested virtualisation the cullprit? > So may this helps. I am still interesting to explore debian. Reporting breakage is indeed helpfull. Yes, do explore Debian. What about another install in VBox? This time an installation that doesn't install KDE during install. (Install KDE later on) For feedback there is https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch05s04.en.html#problem-report and https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apas04.en.html for succes stories.
