Full desktop shell in WSL2 using WSLg (XWayland)

Note

If you want to use Wayland in WSLg in a simpler setup, you can try the WSLg (Wayland) tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv or GWSL) is required. You will find this tutorial very similar to the one that replaces Xorg with Xvnc. Indeed, it's pretty much the same tutorial, with some few changes.

The key component we need to install is the desktop metapackage you want (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, etc), and after that, replace the default Xorg by a script that calls Xwayland instead.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 24.04, and install GNOME Desktop. Unfortunately older versions of Ubuntu lack some fundamental things, so we cannot reproduce it in older versions (at least not fully). Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the [Sample screenshot

Ubuntu 21.04 VM with GPU acceleration under Hyper-V...?

Modern versions of Windows support GPU paravirtualization in Hyper-V with normal consumer graphics cards. This is used e.g. for graphics acceleration in Windows Sandbox, as well as WSLg. In some cases, it may be useful to create a normal VM with GPU acceleration using this feature, but this is not officially supported. People already figured out how to do it with Windows guests though, so why not do the same with Linux? It should be easy given that WSLg is open source and reasonably well documented, right?

Well... not quite. I managed to get it to run... but not well.

How to do it?

1. Verify driver support

class SimpleCalculator:
    def sum(self, a, b):
        """ Function to add two integers """
        if isinstance(a, int) and isinstance(b, int):
            return a + b
        else:
            return "ERROR"

Permanent WSL DNS Fix (WSL 2.2.1+)

If you're encountering ping github.com failing inside WSL with a Temporary failure in name resolution, you're not alone — this has been a long-standing issue, especially when using VPNs or corporate networks.

This issue is now fixed robustly with DNS tunneling, which preserves dynamic DNS behavior and avoids limitations like WSL’s former hard cap of 3 DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

DNS tunneling is enabled by default in WSL version 2.2.1 and later, meaning that if you're still seeing DNS resolution issues, the first and most effective fix is simply to upgrade WSL. Upgrading WSL updates the WSL platform itself, but does not affect your installed Linux distributions, apps, or files.

To upgrade WSL, follow these steps,

# WSL?
if [[ "$(< /proc/sys/kernel/osrelease)" == *microsoft* ]]; then
    export $(dbus-launch)
    export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
    export WSL_VERSION=$(wsl.exe -l -v | grep -a '[*]' | sed 's/[^0-9]*//g')   
    export WSL_HOST=$(tail -1 /etc/resolv.conf | cut -d' ' -f2)
    export DISPLAY=$WSL_HOST:0
    # pip path if using --user
    export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
    # SSH

pretty much the same text. I just added some few screenshots and changed the javascript code to show only the secret text.

1. Install Authy APP from Chrome Web Store Thi is the App, not the extension.
2. Open Authy and log in, so you can see the codes being generated for you
3. Go to Extensions page in your browser (chrome://extensions/ or Menu -> More tools -> Extensions)
4. Tick developer mode in top right corner
