Really? While there its certainly slightly annoying because they have the "double menu bar" if they use a non-standard one like the jetbrains ides do... I feel like wsl gui support has essentially become a "solved issue" for a while now.

Yes and no, GitKraken actually have a graphical interface for WSL (or Linux generally), but it is barely usable as the WSL-g does not really work well. It's blurry for Hi-Res screen and the performance is like hell.

I would never try running any graphical stuff in WSL anymore, not worth it. VMWare with a graphical installation of any Linux system would be a preferred choice as I'm testing lately.

  • Or Proxmox or just virt-manager

    • Hmmm, is there a native virt-manager build on Windows? Though I suppose running it in WSL and connecting with an external SPICE client would work just as well. (I’m wondering if there’s a way to just run SPICE server in WSL.)
