Inexplicable lag when opening media folders, Windows reloads every file individually
Trying to research this a little more, I came across a post that certainly seems to mimic the issue.

Control Center on macOS is always re-rendering its SwiftUI causing 1% CPU load
> compressed memory
doesn't solve much and it's been available in all other OS for a long time.
many reported that compressed memory can negatively impact performances in certain scenarios
For example

I condensed down 30 million JPGs to 2.6TB and it takes me 6 days to move them
You can see pretty easily if you ever try to delete a node_modules folder on Windows: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Dev-Performance/issues/17 There's some anectdotal evidence in there that FS performance is better in Linux even when Linux is emulated in WSL2 instead of native Windows.

This delay happens when I open any folder with videos in it. Is it normal behavior or should I change any settings? (Using Windows 11 22h2 latest official build).

- Switching back to Windows showed me why Linux is more viable than ever
- Alternatives to CCleaner?

Notepad running next to gedit using the initial WSL GUI app support
There are performance issues with POSIX-first software on Windows. There is an open issue for the Windows team about it on Github. You can read more about it here. That's why WSL is needed.

FreeRDP: A Remote Desktop Protocol Implementation
WSLg(Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI) uses RDP and FreeRDP to work: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm hopeful the experience is better than last time I tried Hyper-V enhanced linux experience. I imagine this use case is getting FreeRDP way more attention.
For years I've developed in a Linux VM on a Windows host via VirtualBox. The typing lag on this, particularly in IDEs like VSCode and Rider, finally got to me. So, I moved over to WSL and have to say; the experience is amazing.

Wayland Is Pretty Good
This is running in WSL?
Microsoft has some wayland stuff already for WSL, though I think internally there's RDP involved: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Ask HN: Windows 10-based devs, are you upgrading to Windows 11?
Apparently, WSLg does away with the need for a separate X server, making things "easy" to use:

Graphics in c++ but in wsl
There's two completely different aspects to your question. 1) How to manage libraries in c++ without dying from cringe? I'd suggest you use cmake as the build system and grab library sources directly from GitHub using this tool: https://github.com/cpm-cmake/CPM.cmake 2) How to get apps that run under WSL to display windows-native windows? I'm not sure, but it's probably this: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

How to access Ubuntu's stock desktop environment using wslg and D3D12?
Here’s a thread about it. You can get into the underlying RDP session instead of just apps launching. https://github.com/microsoft/wslg/issues/1019
