Realized it had been over a year since I played around with Windows Subsystem for Linux (and I hadn't even bothered with it on my Surface Go since I last reset it early this year), so I took it for a spin today.
Linux GUI apps in WSL2 have come a long way. I remember it being a pain in the ass the last time I tried it (18 months ago?), but I installed Firefox, Nautilus, and System Monitor via apt, and VS Code from a downloaded .deb, and all worked right out of the box.
