    Not sure if it was a plasma issue or a wayland issue, but I tried it last year and had trouble with cursor locking.

    Virtualbox had issues with the input being intermittent, and my mouse would move off the screen while gaming.

    It might be fixed now, but I don’t plan on trying it again for another few years, because what I’m using works for me.

      the cursor locking still happens in a handful of games for me - most work perfectly fine but sometimes i do end up running something with gamescope with the --force-grab-cursor argument to fix it.

      this is when running games with either steam or wine/bottles/lutris.

      strange that it happens in virualbox, i would think it “virtualizing” an entire display would fix issues like that. does virtualbox itself “grab” the cursor, or allow it to go off the screen by default? sorry i don’t really know virtualbox, never used it much
