Interesting, this results in a fully functional desktop version?

I have a M2 and the hardware is great, but the OS that came with it not so. If I could replace the OS with Ubuntu that would be great. (Windows would also be great, but I have no experience in installing that)

Yes. You wouldn’t replace the OS but you can make UTM full screen and hardly notice it’s not the main os

There are attempts to run Linux on the Mac natively but they have limitations.

You can also get utilities that abuse Mac OS to make it imitate windows or Linux if you want.

I almost always use my MacBook Pro in clamshell mode attached to a thunderbolt dock for external displays. Right now Ashai Linux does not support thunderbolt, however it is a work in progress.

Does UTM work well with external displays? Preferably in full screen?

It's very snappy. I run Firefox to work with my Internet banking site in an isolated environment.

I installed KDE -- I am very satisfied.
