Hi @rangineniaditya,
Hi Based on my research, currently it is not possible to install Power BI desktop on Ubuntu. You can install the desktop on a Windows VM to work around. By the way, there is an idea about that, you can vote it up.

I have tried that and running PowerBI as well as other MSoft applications on a VM is annoyingly slow.... when I have tried to do a transformation of data it just keeps spinning the wheel and nothing happens. PowerBI online on the other hand doesn't seem to have power query access.

Hi @rangineniaditya,
Does that make sense? If so, kindly mark my answer as a solution to close the case please.

So the solution is that there is no solution??? not even WINE or vbox?
