wsl won't work. I need to have access to an optical drive. So I need to
wait until I can get a dedicATED LINUX BOX.

Wsl has some advantages over a vm in that you have direct filesystem access
if needed. There are other elements of running things side by side.

WSL comes with a Wayland implementation called WSLg that provides a
rootless display server:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/gui-apps
That's probably the easiest way to run GUI apps. I would try that first.
Either way, you want a display server that runs outside the VM
well, I'm stuck in a world of windows now. but I gots to use linux so I'm
doing wsl. How do I get gui to work: I ran apt update/upgrade/xinit but it
responds with:
_XSERVTansmkdir: ModeX11-unix should 1777
_XSERVTransCreateListener: failed...
_XSERVTransUNIX...:failed
_XSERVTransMakeALL
There is now a toolset you can install to play nice with VM software and
wsl.

As mentioned by another reply, WSL2 is best to use. Note that you have to have
Windows 10 ver. 2004 for a WSL2 installation.
Here are a couple links I found helpful. Microsoft's documentation is very good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fntjriRe48
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl
It has received some solid work, and is well documented, let me know if you
need a hand in geting it running.

Thanks. My more recent attempts seemed to be leaning towards WSL 2, though the
other looked like a much simpler approach. I hope I don’t have a dozen copies
of "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS” cluttering together …

Don’t use wsl 1 but use 2 if you can help it.

But I’m stuck.
Anyone know the steps?
I selected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and selected WSL 1.
I got a message saying it was installed, but I can’t find a way to start it
up.
I can’t find any control panel for it.
Any idea how to do this?
:)
Thanks,
Victor Odhner
