try out GWSL (WSL2 with GUI) preview

install GWSL from Microsoft Store

install some Linux apps (https://github.com/microsoft/wslg)

## Update all packages in your distro
sudo apt update

## Gedit
sudo apt install gedit -y

## GIMP
sudo apt install gimp -y

## Nautilus
sudo apt install nautilus -y

## VLC
sudo apt install vlc -y

## X11 apps
sudo apt install x11-apps -y

## Google Chrome
cd /tmp
sudo wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb 
sudo apt install --fix-broken -y
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

Now GWSL appears in your windows 10 start menu with an orange icon,

Now from your bottom right corner, you will find an icon to launch all the Linux app,

GIMP, long time no see!

Bingo!

from my quick testing, vlc crashed, GIMP flashed and exited, chrome pops out just fine, file manager seems also fine.
