Speaking from personal experience, it didn\u2019t always work well either. What you go often involved jagged edges, as though you were looking at a low-resolution photo of the app you wanted to test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Linux GUI apps running on Windows using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/f8_nvJzuaSU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It did the job of testing components for development purposes but wasn\u2019t helpful for testing the GUI itself. Now that workaround won\u2019t be necessary as Microsoft sent out a preview of Windows System for Linux with full GUI support. The update should be helpful for anyone doing cross-platform testing that would rather avoid loading up a Linux test box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Linux GUI apps on WSL will even support audio and microphone operations out of the box without any additional work. Microsoft demonstrated running Audacity in Linux on a Windows box to show how well it works. And thanks to support for your machine\u2019s GPU, Linux apps can run with accelerated 3D graphics, which should help more complex programs run better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To get started, you\u2019ll need to be on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.windows.com\/windows-insider\/2021\/04\/21\/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-21364\/\">Windows 10 Insiders preview build 21364<\/a> or higher. Once you have that installed, you\u2019ll need to either install WSL using the <code>wsl --install<\/code> command, or update it if you already have it installed. To update WSL, just run the command <code>wsl --update<\/code>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><small><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Source:\u00a0<\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/commandline\/the-initial-preview-of-gui-app-support-is-now-available-for-the-windows-subsystem-for-linux-2\/\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Microsoft<\/span><\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
