I tried it. Window resizes and moves are very laggy, but I mean, it's pretty great other than that. https://i.imgur.com/EBdMKz7.png https://i.imgur.com/EBdMKz7

WSL2 crashes consistently n my own microsoft laptop in current windows, and I've tried diagnosing an improper configuration: how does one work around that?

  This doesn't seem like a genuine question. You provide no details, and WSL2 works great for everyone I personally know. You could probably get help there: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues But, obviously, you would have to actually be willing to provide meaningful details and not just... what you posted here.

    Thanks for the link, and the only thing i've been doing is debian in WSL2 on arm (Surface Pro X), which works great, as does fedora....the strangeness is that the subsystem seems to freeze perhaps after a sleep / wake cycle, but not at a predictable time delay. Anyway, since that's a showstopper, it's unusable, and i'm going to check out that link. thanks again.

      As if Windows on ARM wasn't experimental enough... Linux (GUI apps) on Windows on ARM is quite the edge case. Best of luck though!

Is the performance better or worse than using something like VcXsrv or other vnc forwarding application?

  Window redraws feel native. It's just moving and resizing that feels weird to me, and I'm sure they'll be able to figure it out soon. Overall, feels like using X11 forwarding on a LAN.

  Meh. I just want to make cool shit.

If they can deliver graphics performance on par with a low-end nvidia GPU I'm pretty much sold on it in the near future. PC has simply no hardware to compete with that, may it run Linux or Windows.
