What virtualization are you using to swipe like that between Linux and Mac?

VMware Fusion (now changed name to VMware Player).

But I would expect it to work the same for other virtualisation software, because that's what MacOS does for full-screen apps.

It's nice that the swipe gesture is intercepted by the host instead of passed to the guest.

I swipe to full-screen remote desktops too (in this case to access another work laptop on my desk via my main monitor), it's really nice having them all available this way. It's like having a deluxe KVM, which also has a zoom-out thumbnail viewer when needed :-)

It's still called VMware Fusion but is now available in the variants Player and Pro: https://www.vmware.com/se/products/fusion/fusion-evaluation....

I used to work this way too but get fed up with keyboard and mouse buttons getting stuck in VMs making them go bananas when the system was under load. Really nice experience apart from that and the half-broken support for Retina displays.

Possibly VMWare Fusion Pro, since I do the same on my mac.

Fullscreen the Linux VM, it becomes another desktop. Just swipe into it and continue working.
