I don't think the downvotes were warranted. That said, I will be devils advocate here. I tend to develop on multiple machines, some of them windows.. so I like having a consistent experience. Jetbrains tools on a Linux desktop (in a VM on each host) offer that. I then keep my working git repos on a USB stick and mount them into the VM.

There's ways to work around that though.. such as host the USB over SMB and then mount the share inside of the VM.. or use a cloud service of some kind.. but it's a bit more clunky.

USB passthrough seems like a basic feature of a hypervisor IMO.
