    Does this answer your question? [Running GUI apps under WSL](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1389908/running-gui-apps-under-wsl). Also see [What's the easiest way to run GUI apps on Windows Subsystem for Linux?](https://askubuntu.com/q/993225/1165986). Thanks! – NotTheDr01ds Jun 30 '22 at 14:11

    Ack to @NotTheDr01ds but if you do not want a GIU in the first place you might consider running qemus GUI frontent in another way. Look for the -display argument which allows the gui to be served via spice or vnc. Or try text on the console via `-curses` or even no graphic at all with `-nographic`. There are many options, you have to pick what suits you best. – Christian Ehrhardt Jul 01 '22 at 05:24
  • @ChristianEhrhardt Great point. Running QEMU without the X-based GUI would be the better option under WSL on Windows 10. – NotTheDr01ds Jul 01 '22 at 05:37
