I use VcXsrv because it’s free and is frequently updated. See my answer here:
The important thing is to install it accepting the defaults and then (for me) to edit /etc/environment and change this:
PATH="/mnt/e/bin:/mnt/e/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:"
to this:
PATH="/mnt/e/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games"
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=Yes
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
- Adding
/mnt/e/bin:at beginning of path is only important for shared scripts stored on NTFS partition that both Ubuntu natively runs and WSL Bash runs. - export
LIBGGL...is important for GUI to paint properly -
export
DISPLAY...is important for X-Server to run properly Then I can useyadandzenityfor all my GUI scripts.
