On my system, everything ran great. Shutdown just fine but on starting the system back up, the OS just would not load. Blank loading screen. Seems to be a known issue with some WSL2 and even WSL1, resulting in issues.
Attempts to repair, system restore, uninstall updates were a bust. BSODs with critical structure corruption for the most part and Memory Management BSODs.
Looks like a fresh reinstall is needed. -
This on an i7 9700K with 16 GB of Ram.
I remember having similar issue few years back when trying out on WSL 1 as well.
I was excited to try WSL and maybe drop VMware and Virtual Box- -

Hey there. Great video!
Unfortunately, my WSLg doesn't seem to recognize my GPU. Programs like gimp and blender perform very poorly, as they run on the CPU. I had to resolve to the Windows versions. I did all the things you described in the video, like getting the dev version of the Nvidia CUDA drivers by registering, but it still doesn't want to use my 1070...
Currently running the Windows 11 insider preview that I got yesterday. Haven't tested it yet, it might have been fixed already, but I might have missed a step or some configuration is not cooperating...

Chris was wondering if Windows file and folder permissions can be bypassed via a Linux file explorer on WSLg? When Linux mounts a Windows drive, it ignores the user permissions on NTFS files and folders so that every file and folder can be accessed, copied, moved, deleted! Is the same true for Linux running over WSL or WSLg (except maybe files and folders that are locked in use)? Not that I'd want to, but is it possible to delete for example: c:\windows\system32 via a terminal or linux gui file explorer over WSL / WSLg?

1. Implement WSL
2. Make a T2-like chip for Windows that makes it impossible to install Linux natively
3. Require all OEMs that ship Windows to include it
4. Linux community grabs pitchforks
5. _-But why would you want to install Linux natively when you have WSL?-_
The -Embrace, extend, extinguish- gang has come for Linux guys.

I do want to note that if all you want is the Wayland part of WSLg you don't have to get the nVidia driver mentioned in the video. The Wayland socket will still work. It just won't have OpenGL support. With that said stuff like Youtube videos still played perfectly fine and I didn't see a performance drop.

Meanwhile... windows 10 has used up your RAM checking for updates, scanning for viruses, and indexing files, and has started pagefiling on the hard drive, while the Linux Subsystem is using about 500 Mb. Could have just left windows out of it. Good video dude, as usual, but wow this is useless.

Its just easier and more straightforward to install a virtual machine on Windows and run your Linux distro inside it. Faster and more convenient because Windows doesn-t natively host a full blown Linux distro yet, just individual apps. But the potential for that to eventually happen is there.

Fun fact: This was actually Windows 11 (branded as Win10 to avoid spoiling the upcoming win11 announcement)
You know it-s win11 because ALL win10 build numbers begin with a 1. This build as well as current builds of Win11 have build numbers that start with a 2.

-Chris Titus Tech, I know this is an old video, but I just upgraded to Windows 11 final release and wanted to use WSL. It seems as of this time, to get the Nvidia driver, you no longer need to sign up for a developer account to download the driver.

Hi there! Does any1 has any knowledge how to approach themeing wslg apps? I believe it should be done from command line point of view by applying gsettings commands after we download theme files? Anyone got any experience in that area?
