[CORRET]

Startup Error: Unable to detect graphics environment_

What is the problem ?

You better using in Native Windows instead of Linux. Since WSL only a few support of Graphical Programs

What is the problem ?

The problem is Intetellij unable to detect a graphics environment. See this. [Noting that you won't want compiz or unity or pretty much anything that thread has to say in order to run Intellij.]

WSL only a few support of Graphical Programs

That isn't correct; WSL doesn't draw pixels and whatever syscall emulation gaps WSL does have isn't related to drawing them. That said, it is correct to say graphic applications aren't supported with WSL in the sense that it is exceeding difficult to identify syscall emulation problems with graphic apps because they tend to be large and unwieldy. See also FAQ.

For those who find this on Google like myself:

WSL 2 does have support for intellij and can run it just fine, see here for instructions
