Installing Linux on MVP generally works, although maybe a couple of
quirks exist that are easily fixed in the guest OS.

While I suspect Linux will never be an 'officialy' supported OS, to
business and commerce it can be really, really important for have linux
for some really old 'killer-app' that they just still depend on so I'm
sure Microsoft engineered MVP to support it, otherwise people would just
use VMWare or something similar.
