I see. This is a bit unfortunate from a beta testing point of view: I
can't be the only one who tests preview releases in a VM.
Lots of things are unfortunate. This is software, after all. I regret
not working on this earlier, since it would probably have saved the
effort invested in fallback mode entirely.
But it's a bit late to mope about it.
