This is great, do you notice any performance impact?
I didn't do any formal benchmark. The XWindows display is noticeably laggy when you drag windows in Pharo, but I didn't find it annoying. The baseline installs I did were not noticeably slower than what I'm used to. I did some testing and debugging for several hours and I forgot I was running XSL, except for the keyboard. I haven't figured out why my quotes and apostrophes and tildes are not right. I think I had that problem in a lubuntu VM under Windows 10, too.
I had to install a lubuntu VM as a workaround to the existing Iceberg "long file paths" issues.
Maybe the WSL method will be a useful alternative.

Thanks to Cyril who told me it was possible, I got Pharo 7 Unix running
under the Ubuntu 18 that's part of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 10. It's not a VM VirtualBox.
I documented the install steps on my new blog that uses Jekyll and
github pages, which actually took longer to set up than the Pharo under WSL :)
The Mesa install step on the blog might be useful for documenting how to
get Pharo 7 to work in Ubuntu 18?
