Will Maui be installed using Visual Studio 2019+ installer

[marcnoon]

Trying to find Maui in Visual Studio and wanted to know if Maui is a checkbox in Visual Studio Installer now or perhaps is a plan in the future. Looking for a straight forward path to start using the tool now thats also easy to uninstall.

Visual Studio Installer Ideas

From the perspective of a user that wants a more modern approach I'll take a risk and throw out my true desires for Maui install process.
This may sound naive or too early, but I think it would also be nice if the Visual Studio Installer had an option to install Maui on a linux distro or on my windows machine or my windows hypervisor or even a docker image. If I'm on linux it would be nice if it could install Maui in a docker container, a linux hypervisor, or a windows hypervisor instance.

Docker instance

You run the docker command and when it finished there is this cool maui prompt or even a web interface.

Hypervisor instance

Instead of installing windows or linux you install an Maui hypervisor instance... with all the bells and whistles... Its basically a fired up OS for developing Maui stuff.

Hypervisor OS on linux or windows

Have a install of Maui on a separate windows install, linux install etc... Has protected software for developing Maui with everything pre-configured.

Bare metal install of Maui

Has massive documentation on how to install maui and keep it updated... much more difficult than the three options above that automates the update process.

If Maui is a cloud only build... maybe when you build any Maui instances it would be it completely on the cloud and Visual Studio or the command line tool only interacts with it through an interface. Maybe all development and builds occur on the cloud completely negating a bare metal install. Just ideas... :) Obviously this is entirely possible given the direction of low code, microservices, docker, kubernetes, etc.
