Full screen is 100% of monitor. If you make it smaller, so you can you other things. . . it would have to. You canât make it smaller, and still fit the area without stretching the image.
Iâm glad it doesnât because the stretched area would look funny until I full screen it again! That would drive me up teh wall.
actually, its a bug that it isnt
Apparently there is an issue with vdagent events not being handled and only GNOME has some ability to but you can force the resize by running
xrandr --output Virtual-0 --auto

It doesnât stretch like you think. Itâs perfect resolution for the screen size!
^ this
it doesnt stretch the screen, it changes the resolution to match the window size. Spice is also âsupposedâ to do this
I know and i used virtual box for years and it always does this on the fly as soon as you boot on the ISO if you know how. The problem with virtual box is when they have updates and then itâs not working right i get annoyed. So Iâm using vmware because it works. I did use virtmanager for a while also when it worked like this. But iâve also had issues with it and the graphics so Iâm using vmware instead because i want the full screen vm not a full screen on the monitor. This works really well when you are jumping in and out of the vm and your host.
I used vmware a long time ago, vmware player on a Windows host, so I have no experience with it recently.
This is vmware-workstation pro. Has the vmware player also.
In vmware vm screen

Iâll try it in a few minutes. I have to install it all.
yeah apparently it was made entirely seperate a while ago and is no longer a dependency 
why, i couldnt tell you, but Fedora doesnt have it on default either now because Redhat
There might be some issues with other DEs still not responding right that hasnt been fixed, idk about others besides GNOME
you need to make sure under View â Scale Display its set to Always and check box Resize VM to Window if in virt manager
It wonât start with graphics. This is why i get so P⌠because it just doesnât work without aggravation!
Did you enable it right? i just have Mesa and Virgl packages (virgl-renderer is pulled as qemu-desktop dependency) on Host and enable it with these options
No âŚno nopeâŚdoesnât work doesnât start piece of crap!
I stopped reading at GNOME.
Well, if it works elsewhere and not for you that sounds like the time to submit a bug report vs just calling the software crap when it isnt dont you think?
Iâm going back to KDE Vanilla EndeavorOS on bare metal!
