Install an X server in Windows (that page mentions VcXsrv and/but I recommend GWSL which also uses VcXsrv for a little nicer experience).

I don't feel like troubleshooting that issue any further so if all you needed was GUI app support and not necessarily GPU compute capabilities (CUDA etc) then use this: https://opticos.github.io/gwsl/.

How to change the app borders?
Also, if for some reason you decide that you aren't big on the idea of Wayland yet (as in if you don't have a care for the Wayland features and/or WSLg's PCIe partitioning based direct GPU access etc) then you can opt to disable the guiApplications setting in your .wslconfig file and instead install an X server (like VcXsrv, or GWSL that uses it and provides some nice to have GUI controls etc for it) and be able to set your preferred titlebar/border via the said themes from Pling etc from within your WSL distro environments themselves (install lxappearance or GNOME Tweaks Tool to set them up).
-
Setting up a new computer and considering moving to WSL
Yeah, all of that seems to be available if you use WSL1 and pair it up with an X server (GWSL is a handy FOSS package for that and the dev's OpenInWSL app makes the integration even more seamless).
