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

Need help getting Linux GUI applications to run on Windows through WSL 2
That said. Graphical apps will just run on WSL without needing to install anything. Check: 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

Remote Controlling an HP 1670G Logic Analyzer with a Linux PC X Server
I don't know anything about Xwayland, but according there's this sentence in this socat writeup:
> If you want to access an X server that does not provide -listen tcp (Xwayland) or just did not have enabled it during startup (like most likely your host Xorg), you can use socat to provide TCP/IP access.

[Linuxserver/Calibre] Multiple error log messages: <dbus-core: error connecting to system bus>
I managed to “fix” the error log messages by following this guide: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/How-to-connect-container-to-DBus-from-host

Can we fake a specific path for an application ?

x11docker would be a good starting point to see what is possible: https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker and in particular https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker/wiki/Display-manager-entry-for-x11docker .

is there a docker alternative for x applications
Instead of using a homegrown solution, check out x11docker. It attempts to safely allow you to use x inside a container. There are certain cases where a malicious actor could take over your computer if you don't mount the relevant things safely.

Is it viable to use containers as a turnaround virtual machine?
This is what I use x11docker for!

Tumbleweed: Connecting X11 desktop through systemd-nspawn or other non-desktop container?
It's straighforward to have your container talk to Xorg directly but for a better experience take a look at https://github.com/mviereck/x11docker as it does the heavy lifting regarding GPU, sounds, devices, etc.
