    I am running GNU Debian Linux 10 in Parallels, and installed blender 3.0.1 through snap. When I try and start blender I get the following error:

    $ blender
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! GLX_ARB_create_context not available.
    Error! Unsupported graphics card or driver.
    A graphics card and driver with support for OpenGL 3.3 or higher is required.
    The program will now close.

    If I run glxinfo it tells me I should have OpenGL 3.3:

    $ glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version"
    OpenGL version string: 3.3 ATI-4.7.101

    Does anyone have any experience with this, and what could be done to make blender work? I am running on a 15" MacBook Pro from 2015 with an
    AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB card.

    My end goal is to use blender kernel in a python Jupyter notebook.
