What do you need it for in WSL2? Perhaps machine learning/crypto stuff?

If you were using Windows it would work better than 'well enough' and the installer would run.
- sudosysgen 5y agoI actually had many serious issues with Photoshop and Lightroom in Windows, random crashes, etc..., the only solution being to rollback drivers and once uninstall windows and not do an update. GPU acceleration in WSL2 is useful for ML, but also accelerated video encode/decode, and some simulations I had to work on. It's also very useful for anything using a GUI, as all the major UI toolkits in Linux use native GPU acceleration.
