Last time I tried Veertu it was crazy buggy. I emailed them a bunch of bug reports which, to their credit, they did acknowledge. It will be interesting to see if they're fixed.

Edit: No, they're not. The Ubuntu image, on my iMac, just flickers its window horribly and is unusable.

Edit 2: There are some improvements. The Debian image now boots! It boots into the installer, which is interesting. Doing a full GUI install right now.

Edit 3: The same flickering problem affects Debian after a GUI install. Shame.

This is a video I made earlier, demonstrating the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4419997/Flicker.mp4

Have you tried "Retina HDPI support" in Advanced VM settings?
ubuntu 16.04.1 works fine. Very good graphical experience. Have you tried it?
Yes, that's what I was referring to. It seems to be hardware specific. On some Macs it's fine, on others (particularly newer ones, it seems) its unusable.
It is interesting, are you using the latest version from the App Store?
Yes.
