It's a little funny that after all this brilliance, he's still limited by Apple.

Whilst true I don't think there's any way to use that to get better graphics support in a Linux VM - for that you're going to be at the mercy of either VMWare or Parallels. QEMU doesn't do 3D acceleration on macOS hosts AFAIK.
