Hi,

I personally tested WSL one year ago in my office for console application.

So, the GUI application sound like mature now. How did you configure the Linux graphical layer ? X11 or Wayland ?

About native Windows versus WSL, i don't know. This depend how the Windows host share system access to Linux guest.

Best
