It's hard to convince colleagues to use Power BI in case they using linux. With a Linux version (ubuntu?) of the Power BI Desktop they would not need to install a VM or similar.

We are not considering bringing Power BI Desktop to Linux anytime soon; however, we do plan to bring more and more authoring capabilities from Power BI Desktop into the web experience.

If there is a support for Ubuntu and Linux .. It would be a great win for Power BI Desktop.
RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
Power BI and Excel on Linux (Ubuntu) would be amazing.
RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
This would be really nice. Linux is a powerful tool for Data Analysts. Perhaps you can port it to .NET Core which is multi-platform?
RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
Badly need this one! It is hard to use it in current situation on the laptop (very good one, but with 16GB RAM) inside the VM with all teams/zoom/browsers/office365/video chats opened and working!
Extremely expensive laptop will do the job, but this is not what I need....

RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
I hope we can have one for arch linux.
RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
Yes. This isn't work related, but the latest Windows 10 builds don't jive so well anymore with some of my older software and hardware at home. It's a really long story but being able to run more MS Software in GNU\Linux could potentially help with this. The latest Windows 10 builds no longer work well for me...
*One* thing Microsoft could do to help with this situation is to *formally* legalize Wine...
