Does anyone know if this will support running SQL Server Management Studio? That's the only thing keeping me using Linux in a VM instead of as my main.

You could of course switch it up and use Windows in a VM and Linux as your main.

  What license allows home users to use a virtualized MS Windows, do they allow it?

    IANAL but the Microsoft License Terms for OEM Windows 10 [1] says yes: 2. Installation and Use Rights. b. Device. In this agreement, “device” means a hardware system (whether physical or virtual) with an internal storage device capable of running the software. A hardware partition or blade is considered to be a device. d. Multi use scenarios. (iv) Use in a virtualized environment. This license allows you to install only one instance of the software for use on one device, whether that device is physical or virtual. If you want to use the software on more than one virtual device, you must obtain a separate license for each instance.

I haven't seen any reports about it specifically, but anecdotally SQL Server 2008 R2 runs well on Wine 2.0 and later when you install .NET 3.5 into Wine, and Visual Studio 2010 Express works pretty good with the same caveats, so I think the SSMS from around that time should work okay with more modern Wine releases. Give it a shot and provide feedback, if no one tries it then it'll never get the support or workarounds it might need!

SQL Server Operations Studio works well on Linux for most tasks I would have used SSMS for. It's much lighter too! https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-operations-studio/download https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-operations-studio/d...
