The "wslg" version of WSL, which comes with a Wayland display server built-in, is perhaps a driver.

The github page still says it requires Windows 11: https://github.com/microsoft/wslg

Though I suppose it's possible they've also pushed it to the insider builds for Windows 10.

Apparently they are only going to allow gpu compute on wsl2 on windows 10 and not allow the full graphics integration.

Ah that's dumb. One of the best things about wslg is pretty pedestrian, but very helpful. You can make Windows shortcuts to launch applications in a very easy way now.

Within the "Target:" setting, for a shortcut, just "wslg.exe /some/program -args". No wrappers, no setting DISPLAY, no calling /bin/sh -c "whatever", etc.

I'm hoping someone will develop an unofficial tool to unlock wslg on Windows 10.
