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

Your php dev workflow on Windows while using Docker
Install WSL2, install docker there and phpstorm, use x410 or any xserver or microsoft one https://github.com/microsoft/wslg.

Free from the Apple jail
It actually works with native apps. It has also opengl acceleration normally: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Updated Install Instructions Dec 2022
If you're new to WSL as I am, you'll marvel at graphical apps "just working", appearing as normal windows getting along like any other app. Under the hood, this isn't entirely unlike running a VM in "seamless mode". There are a few paths WSLG can take to make this happen, some better than other. If you have a linux GUI app running and open the windows "Task view" (by pressing Windows + Tab or whatever), if you see a "WARN: COPY MODE" label atop your linux apps, WSLG is being forced to use a slow path to render areas to screen. The exact reasons why escape me. An older ticket recommended installing an updated Mesa package to get to Mesa 21.x, but new WSL 2 installs are already there. Nonetheless, I followed those steps, ended up with Mesa 22.2.4, restarted WSL and the warning went away, replaced by a much higher refresh rate for linux windows (easy to check if you just drag a linux window around.) Notably, the warning came back once later, with scary logs in /mnt/wslg/weston.log about shared_memory errors, but restarting Windows made things better again.. YMMV.

How to Get a Unix-Like Terminal Environment in Windows and Visual Studio Code
Assuming you already have Visual Studio Code installed, the first thing you'll want to do is Download Cmder. Extract the files to C:\cmder, or wherever you like.

Tabby is an infinitely customizable cross-platform terminal app
The multiple supported shells remind me a little bit of the Windows cmder app, which I recall being pretty decent: https://cmder.app/
But the cross platform aspect is really nice, even if in my experience using different terminal apps per platform hasn't been too big of an issue.
Maybe except for MobaXTerm feeling better than most Linux tabbed/split terminal offerings due to its usability and support for sending input to multiple remote sessions at the same time, SSH integration etc.: https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/ (something like Remmina is on par with mRemoteNG, so nice but not quite there)

need LSP in WSL to use python env from Windows
I've since found that dev workflows in Windows work pretty damn good now, actually. I hate PowerShell so I still don't use it, but I now use Nushell, Cmder, and Git-Bash as my shells within the native Windows terminal emulator and it's actually pretty damn good and very close to the Unix experience. I actually like the native Windows terminal more than Kitty and would switch to it on my Ubuntu machine and my work MacBook if it were available on these systems.

If you haven't tried Cmder yet you definitely should.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (47/2022)!
When I run my program in cmd.exe it looks fine, but when I run it in cmder it draws to a new line every time it increments. Any idea how I could fix that?
