Please note that WSLg is only compatible with WSL 2 and will not work for WSL distribution configured to work in WSL 1 mode. If you have an existing WSL installation without WSLg and want to update to the latest version of WSL which includes WSLg, run the command wsl -update from an elevated command prompt. Voilà! WSL and WSLg are installed and ready to be used! Install instructions (Existing WSL install) These will be your Linux credentials, they can be anything you want and don't have to match your Windows credentials. You'll be asked to enter a username and password. Install instructions (Fresh Install - no prior WSL installation)įrom a command prompt with administrator privileges, run the command wsl -install -d Ubuntu, then reboot if prompted.Īfter reboot the installation will continue. You can find preview drivers supporting WSL from each of our partners below.
It is recommended to run WSLg on a system with virtual GPU (vGPU) enabled for WSL so that you can benefit from hardware accelerated OpenGL rendering. To get access to a preview of WSLg, you'll need to join the Windows Insider Program and be running a Windows 11 Insider Preview build from the beta or dev channels. WSLg is going to be generally available alongside the upcoming release of Windows.Windows 11 (build 22000.*) or Windows 11 Insider Preview (builds 21362+) From integration into the Start Menu for launch to appearing in the task bar, alt-tab experience to enabling cut/paste across Windows and Linux applications, WSLg enables a seamless desktop experience and workflow leveraging Windows and Linux applications.
WSLg strives to make Linux GUI applications feel native and natural to use on Windows. While users can accomplish this today using a multiple system setup, with individual PC dedicated to Windows and Linux, virtual machine hosting either Windows or Linux, or an XServer running on Windows and projected into WSL, WSLg provides a more integrated, user friendly and productive alternative.
WSLg provides an integrated experience for developers, scientists or enthusiasts that prefer or need to run Windows on their PC but also need the ability to run tools or applications which works best, or exclusively, in a Linux environment. WSLg is short for Windows Subsystem for Linux GUI and the purpose of the project is to enable support for running Linux GUI applications (X11 and Wayland) on Windows in a fully integrated desktop experience.
