Hi @Anonymous ,

You can use Windows VM in Azure and install Power BI on it.
For this you need a azure subscription. 

If you are a MAC user, then you can download windows on MAC from https://turbo.net/. This will give you a functionality to open Power BI desktop on it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

There are some free mode of sharing the reports-
You can use Publish to web option (not secure method)

or, you can embed your PBI report to custom application.
You can also embed your PBI report to Microsoft Team.

Thanks,

Hi anilgavhane21,

Yes, you can use Power BI as your reporting tool for non-windows operating system. Similar to other areas, Active directory requires permission to move on with the development.
