I've basically given up trying to view multiple OSs on one medium-sized screen. My basic setup when not on the road is to have two screens and run the other OS in the second screen. Unfortunately, I use a couple of programs that are built for Ubuntu, and I can't get the dependencies to work to compile them in Fedora; in addition, I do a lot of teaching and while I make most of my presentations in libreoffice, I almost always have to review them in PowerPoint to make sure the format change worked right.
So, I normally work with a second OS up that's either Mint/Ubuntu or Windows. But I'd go blind if I tried to do that with just one screen.

Which is OK on desktops with large (> 23" diagonal) monitors.
But on a laptop (16:9 15" diagonal screen or smaller) you need a
magnifying glass to work with the virtual screens.
Neither KVM nor VirtualBox can present the virtual machine in
the same 16:9 fullscreen format as your primary OS.
