I will love it but not having a graphical interface limits the added value. Currently the main problem with running a desktop Linux in a VM is the limited support for 3D/2D that increased CPU usage making your whole computer unusable.

On the server side Hyper-V in Windows 10 is a partial solution that already works.

Excuse me... It seems like you are an ignorant and happy downvoter. HN is for civilized discussions, if you don't agree make your point.

For anybody else, just search this on Google: 2d 3d cpu ubuntu (virtualbox OR vmware OR "hyper-v")

So... you know something that I don't and instead of teaching me you insult me. Also, your answer doesn't invalidate what I said since these are experimental approaches with many issues (see for example https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69732 )

Now, have you tried these experimental approaches with Unity on VMware/VirtualBox/Hyper-V? Please let us know your results so anyone can benefit of that.

Those are not experimental approaches. I've tried them about 5 years ago.

Also, how is that experimental:

Stop spreading FUD if you don't know what are you talking about.

Clearly you don't know what FUD really is.
