    Changing OS Dock Icons

    Is there a way to change the VM's OS dock icons, other than what is default for the selected OS? For example, I'm running Pop!_OS. I'd rather show the Pop!_OS logo instead of Ubuntu. Thanks!

    Allow TPM in non-Windows VMs

    It looks like adding a TPM is only possible for Windows VMs. Is there any reason this isn't enabled for Linux (and Other) VMs? This would be useful for testing Linux software configurations that require a TPM for luks and trusted boot.
