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.

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...

RE: Power BI Desktop linux version
I just found out there is a teams app for Linux. Huray. But please, please bring more software to Linux! I would love to see Power BI land on my Ubuntu desktop.
Now I must fire up a VM with Windows or run Power BI on another machine, which is a shame.
Sorry MS, but IMHO you shouldn't make operating systems, you should make apps that run on any OS.
