Does anyone know if there is a linux version of PowerBI Desktop? Or if there is any workaround?

Has anything changed? Will there be PowerBI Linux client?

No, nothing has changed.

I have not heard any announcements about this, but from what I know of the Tabular engine it is very closely tied to the Windows OS. Rather than building a linux port of Desktop a more likely approach is for them to extend the web editing functionality.

    Dear Microsoft. Please endorse GNU\Linux Wine as a legal option to run MS Windows programs. This would no only help with Power BI but it would also help with legacy programs that for whatever reason don't run well in "modern" versions of MS Windows.

    Extending web functionality would be fine so long as I could create datasets...
