Manage multitasking in UTM with Linux distros

After the best resolution trick with UTM using high resolution with supersampling, below I explain how to use UTM comfortably with full screen window.

How to switch desktop in MacOS with UTM

It's very simple, but it's fundamental to use it in this way or you can't really get to use your Linux GUI comfortably. (this trick may also work with Windows, it just depends on the resolution settings and default keyboard shortcuts in Windows)

Once you configured the right resolution and zoom level, just put the window at full screen using the green icon on top left, it will be automatically open in a new desktop window by MacOS, as it is by default for every app.

Then switch screen with CONTROL+<LEFT_OR_RIGHT_ARROW>.

It will not interfere with your GUI activity by default, unless you configured that button, which I highly discourage.

In this way you can switch back and forth without interfering with both OS, enjoying at the same time the full resolution in your Linux VM with supersampling if you wish.
