Can you use graphical applications with WSL?

  If you install an X server for Windows, yes.

    I've purchased X410 for this. Since then I haven't looked to see if there are free implementations of an X server that work nicely with WSL.

      X servers pays along with WSL as well as with anything else. I've used Xming and VcXsrv with WSL without any problem specific to WSL.

      As said elsewhere, I've had excellent X11 experience with WSL2 at least thanks to the open-source VcXsrv.

  While I don’t recommend WSL for serious production workloads, yes you can X11 forward applications from WSL and there’s a few implementations that are really good, all things considered.
