    Enabling the Windows Subsystem for Linux to include support for Wayland and X server related scenarios

    Whilst it's a VM, I've found start-up time for WSL instances to be pretty quick, and it's pretty easy to create and clone a template VM (one approach https://raesene.github.io/blog/2020/05/31/Custom_Pentest_Dis... )
