- zbuttram 9y agoNo plans to support specifically, but a surprising amount of things work simply due to their effort making the rest of it work.
- am1988 9y agoIt still works. X is a protocol, install a server and point at it. It's unsupported, which means it doesn't necessarily work well and they won't help you out.
- nikanj 9y agoYes, I know Microsoft doesn't have an X server. This is why I asked if people could recommend a 3rd party one.
- clouddrover 9y agoA Microsoft Channel 9 video on how to use XMING with Windows Subsystem for Linux: https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/WinCoder/XMING--Bash-on-Ubuntu-on-Windows--X11-Window-System-Running-from-Windows10-Subsystem-for-Linux https://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/WinCoder/XMING--Bash-on-Ubun... I think what they mean by "no current plans to support X/GUI apps" is that WSL itself doesn't include support for an X server but you can still go ahead and connect X applications to any running X server.
