However, "hardware accelerated graphics" shouldn't be in the minimal - people will still run Workstation on VM platforms where it's unavailable, eg. KVM/spice, we don't want them to think it's impossible to run our own OS on our own virtualization platform. I think it would make more sense for "Hardware accelerated graphics" to be in the recommended section.
If you are using software for graphics you need a powerful CPU to make the system usable. That is an odd combination on real hardware. So I think for a recommendation it makes sense to suggest hardware graphic acceleration for workstation. I think the running it as a VM on one's desktop is an outlier case.
I disagree. Testing Workstation in a VM before installing it is something we should very much care about. There are also cases where people want to use a VM for developing some new part of the stack and running Workstation as a VM to test that out is also very viable.
