Last I checked, I couldn't run any X apps under WSL.

  You can, you just need an X server set up on Windows, and the DISPLAY variable configured.

  As ac said - use something like X410 for xserver in windows and in wsl set: export DISPLAY=:0 for other approaches see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/993225/whats-the-easiest-way-to-run-gui-apps-on-windows-subsystem-for-linux-as-of-2018 https://askubuntu.com/questions/993225/whats-the-easiest-way...

    Thanks! I'll be very happy the day I can sudo apt install lyx gnuplot octave octave-forge darktable gimp fluxbox on a windows box, and have my workplace spring to life, all dependencies handled. I'm very glad to hear that wsl has a viable display export -- the next time I have occasion to use a Windows 10 box, I'll give it a try.
