Full desktop shell in WSL2 using WSLg (XWayland)

Note

If you want to use Wayland in WSLg in a simpler setup, you can try the WSLg (Wayland) tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv or GWSL) is required. You will find this tutorial very similar to the one that replaces Xorg with Xvnc. Indeed, it's pretty much the same tutorial, with some few changes.

The key component we need to install is the desktop metapackage you want (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, etc), and after that, replace the default Xorg by a script that calls Xwayland instead.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu 24.04, and install GNOME Desktop. Unfortunately older versions of Ubuntu lack some fundamental things, so we cannot reproduce it in older versions (at least not fully). Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the [Sample screenshot

making the ubnt wifi awesome (uap ac lite) w/ lede (openwrt)

the reasons you would do this:
- you get 802.11r
- you get better roaming
- you get access to some new 5ghz channels

I AM NOT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING IN HERE. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. THANK YOU AND HAVE A LOVELY DAY.

** note that though we're using Lede, it's essentially openwrt minus the drama

How to use matrix.org and vector.im as an IRC client

How to Join an IRC Channel on matrix.org

Join the room #freenode_<#channel>:matrix.org, replacing <#channel> with the name of the IRC channel. For example, in order to join the #prometheus IRC channel, join the room #freenode_#prometheus:matrix.org on matrix.org.

In vector.im, rooms can be joined with the directory symbol on the bottom left.
