I do have the following in my .bashrc

export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
export DISPLAY=$(cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver | awk '{print $2}'):0.0

and it shows up in my env

env | grep -i 'display\|libgl'
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
DISPLAY=172.25.208.1:0.0

ssh config:

cat ~/.ssh/config
HOST github.com
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/github_rsa

Generally will get better eyeballs on Linux config over at serverfault or stackoverflow and the like.

Ok, I'll try there, I just did not expect WSL2 to attempt to use X11 forwarding with my given configuration, so it seemed like a bug. Thanks anyway.
