How do I get VcXsrv to work with wayland-0

[lewisdonofrio]

would like to get my full xfce4 desktop like I have with windows 10 and https://www.tinyurl.com/donofrioworkremmina2020 shows WSL1 working great. In windows 11 I've yet to get WSL2 to work even when I do the display mod's for the env setup, but that was trying x11, now in Insider w11 dev channel I guess we now get Wayland native but how to get a full DE like xfce4 so far all I get is:

(xfwm4:3779): Gtk-WARNING **: 05:58:38.765: cannot open display: wayland-0

You don't need VcXsrv for WSLg feature. MSTSC is used with WSLg automatically.

WSLg doesn't sound like 2022 from what I've read it was how they did it in 2021? I've just installed ubuntu in wsl2 on my w11 insider dev channel build then I tried mstsc /v:localhost:3390 but it doesn't connect? why is it I can run xeyes but not the full DE?

@lewisdonofrio, if you want to use third party solutions to remote GUI, like VcXsrv, please disable graphics support in WSL by .wslconfig. See "guiApplications" at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config. Thanks!

If you want a full desktop I recommend you this project: https://github.com/DesktopECHO/xWSL
