WSL2 became available outside of insider builds in version 1903 which came out May 2019.

I have not experienced WSL2 a not starting issue at all and I use it every day this year.

Also what benefit does Pengwin have apart from X server? I use the Ubuntu image and I've had no issues.




For me it really helped to copy and paste the commands related to the X server.

For instance I had a small issue with the scale of the applications. In Windows I have 250% (recommended) scaling applied.

``` export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2.5

export GDK_SCALE=$(echo "(${QT_SCALE_FACTOR} + 0.49) / 1" | bc) #Round ```
