You can download LiViable from the article author's download page https://eclecticlight.co/virtualisation-on-apple-silicon/

You can run in full-screen mode by doing the normal macOS click on the green stoplight button at the top of the window. The current versions of Apple's virtualization libraries para-virtualize the GPU which runs nearly at full native speed.

It sounds like you want a type 1 VM. Unfortunately none exist for macOS that I'm aware of.

Yep.

With an application level VM (type 2 I think?) I haven't found a way to lock the cursor and keyboard shortcuts to the VM - so my three finger swipe will switch my MacOS workspace rather than my Gnome one, spotlight overrides the VM's shortcuts, etc.

Also moving my cursor to the top left/right of the screen expands the MacOS window controls, breaking the 4rth wall and getting in the way of the VM's DE controls (volume, hot corner, power, etc).

I haven't been able to enable GPU paravirtualization within a Linux VM. I think it's for MacOS VMs running on MacOS.
