I dev on macOS and generally like it, but run a VMware image of Ubuntu for testing things. I do 3D graphics apps, and I’m not sure how good VMware’s pass through is. Is the Apple Silicon GPU virtualized in the VM? Could I run this distro and get better graphics performance?

No you have to install native. Also Parallels is way better than VMware, if you want good 3D performance inside a Windows/Linux/MacOS VM on MacOS.

Parallels requires a separate license per machine. That restriction alone is a permanent non-starter for me.
