What can I run on UTM?

It really depends on your device. The latest operating system I have got to run stably on my iPhone XR is Windows XP. But remember, this is with Apple's locking down their systems, so it can't really be better without tweaks to the main system.

What are the controls when running a Virtual Machine?

The menu

The menu is a bar of icons at the top of your screen. If you don't see it, drag down with 3 fingers on your screen.

From left to right, the icons are:

Power

This button stops your Virtual Machine. It will ask you if you really want to stop it, if you misclick it. This will instantly STOP your machine, so any unsaved data will be lost.

Pause

This will pause your Virtual Machine. Now you can close the app and do other things, while not shutting it down. To unpause it, click the icon again, and the VM will be in the state you left it.

Reset

This will stop and restart your Virtual machine. It will ask you if you really want to restart, if you misclick it. This will instantly STOP your machine, so any unsaved data will be lost.

Fit screen

This will automatically make the Virtual Machine's display fit to your screen/window.
