There still no (official) way to run GUI with WSL. Is Cygwin still better for something? I understand that WSL and Cygwin are completely different approaches, but from user perspective both are kind of sets of GNU/Linux commands and both are using some intermediate layer (cygwin1.dll or LXSS). -- Best Wishes, Evgeny Grin -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
