I’m a macbro who’s been using the terminal for eight years. I downloaded an Archlinux VM for UTM (macOS Tahoe) and I like it, I just wish the text was bigger. I know you don’t get Arch because of its snazzy UI, you do it so you can do…Idk, cool 1337 h4x0r shit? I seriously don’t know, you guys, I’ve only been an Arch user for like three days.

    More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.

    On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].

    In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]

    This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.

    The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

      i’m just gonna go with kali. so yeah that’s the final update, i’m going with kali because it has a GUI (I like the GUI+terminal combo) and i wanna do shit with cybersec.

        i think ur talking about the Linux console. don’t bother customizing that. install kde or whatever gui u use. then open the terminal (e. g. konsole or gnome-terminal). ur zoom shortcuts should work out of the box now.

        too bad u switched already. u were one command away from having the gui
