WSL2 with GUI using Xvnc

Note

If you want to use pure WSLg, you can try the new WSLg (XWayland) tutorial or the WSLg (Wayland) tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will setup GUI in WSL2, and access it using VNC. No additional software outside WSL (like VcXsrv) is required, except, of course, a VNC Viewer (RealVNC, TightVNC, TigerVNC, UVNC, etc, all of them might work flawlessly).

The key component we need to install is the desktop metapackage you want (GNOME, KDE, Xfce, Budgie, etc) and tigervnc-standalone-server.

For this setup, I will use Ubuntu (20.04, 22.04 and 24.04 are working), and install GNOME Desktop. Since the key components aren't bound to Ubuntu or GNOME, you can use your favorite distro and GUI. Check the [Sample

Minimal example to reproduce spacy failing to load language model package under pyinstaller

Run bash build-linux.sh to reproduce on Linux (assumes python3 is installed somewhere in $PATH), or build-win.bat to reproduce on Windows (assumes Python 3.7.6 is installed at C:/Python37/)

It will fail with something like:

$ ./dist/linux/Foo/foo_r
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "run.py", line 2, in

IMPORTANT

See the following links for further updates to Github Desktop for Ubuntu. These are official instructions. (also mentioned by fetwar on Nov 3, 2023)

For the sake of "maintaining the tradition" here is the updated version.
