I don't believe WSL has any graphical capability whatsoever.

  By itself no. But you can run an X Server just like you have on Linux machines, and start graphical applications that use it.

  You can start an X server on Windows and let WSL use it. I've used some GUI programs via Xming in the past. It's fairly simple: https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2017/02/08/graphical-programs-on-windows-subsystem-on-linux.aspx?m=1 https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2017/02/08/graphic...

  I’m not sure where that belief came from because it absolutely does. Software compositing, so you’re limited to what is practical but that’s very useful for a lot of things.

    > I’m not sure where that belief came from I vaguely recall (possibly correctly) that I once read it on Scott Hanselman's blog.
