Full GUI support for Linux apps is now coming to Windows 10.
At Microsoft’s BUILD 2020 event, which is streaming online right now, the company announced that it is ready to take its tight relationship with Linux to the next level. That means that full GUI support for Linux apps is now coming to Windows 10. Not only will there be Linux GUI support baked in to Windows 10, but GPU hardware acceleration will also be supported.
Limited GUI support was already possible with the first iteration of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), but it relied on third-party X11 forwarding and suffered from poor performance.
