## Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL 2)

Up-to-date WSL Installs for Windows 10 & 11 include WSLg, which provides
necessary servers for passing graphics and audio between Windows and the WSL instance.
With WSLg, a user's WSL instance can use X11 as well as Wayland.
For more information, see WSLg [documentation](https://github.com/microsoft/wslg#wslg-architecture-overview).

Prior to the release of [WSL Gui (WSLg)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux#WSLg)
around 4/20/2021, users had to [manually set up servers](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL#Advanced_Topics) on windows for graphic and audio.
Make note of the date for documentation found across the internet.
Following advice from before WSLg's release can lead to additional conflicts.

Graphics and audio need to be configured for them to work with WSL 2 backend.
Please see the ubuntu [WSL documentation](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WSL) on how to set up graphics and audio.
