one-script-wsl2-systemd VS GWSL-Source

For my current attempt I installed a clean instance of Debian, installed Snap, then used this to allow Snap to work. After installing Snap core I installed Nextcloud through Snap. This allows me to connect to Nextcloud by visiting localhost from Windows. This was pretty easy compared to the other methods but I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't seem to access it through other devices on my network, or remotely through port forwarding.

Windows terminal settings has an option for setting the default terminal, your Ubuntu might be bugged, I fixed mine permanently (so far, been using for a month without issues) by reinstalling (clean install of ubuntu wsl) and applying the systemd activation script you could try using an elevated powershell then running "wsl --shutdown" then opening a non elevated instance of wsl ubuntu

That vsock thing can be done with GWSL/VcXsrv too. Check this out: https://github.com/nbdd0121/wsld

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

and GWSL https://github.com/Opticos/GWSL-Source with settings:

With OpenInWSL, possibly using alonside GWSL.

I don't know but if all you want is a working X server and you don't need Xming specifically then give GWSL/VcXsrv a try instead.

You may instead want to use an X server and I recommend GWSL for that.

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/.

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).

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).
