That's exactly what I've done - I do a lot of my day job with Virtual
Machines. But...

works very much better in Windows (better integration with midi, pdf viewer
as well as printers etc.), and there's available installers for the latest
versions. Ubuntu's packaged version is ancient, and the one I built has all
sorts of problems.

That said, it is almost certainly the path of least resistance to fix
Frescobaldi on Linux than fix Lilypond in Windows!!

IMO, Lilypond produces somewhat better looking output (with at least a
little care), and as a software engineer I really rate being able to
source-control my files properly. Everything's in git...
