Hi all,
As far as I know, the use of pipe symbols on macOS is the same as with Linux and can't be used in a filename on a hfs+ formatted drive. However, I never tried the apfs format but I guess the use of the pipe symbols is the same since it's used with bash.
About Linux on a VM, I recommend both Linuxmint and LMDE (Linus Mint Debian Edition).
However, whatever your main OS is (macOS, Linux or the crippled M$ Windows), the VM tool I definitely recommend is VMware for its real performances and efficient memory management Vs VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.
