Amazing! You can even launch a GUI/GTK based WSL Ubuntu GNU Backgammon installation! That also surprised me - I have no X server on my Windows so I guess there is something GTK+Wayland going on. I had no idea this would work! However, that is not what I am doing. I run the GUI in a Windows build and connect to a "gnubg -t" instance on the WSL. Windows version downloaded and installed from the download site, and the WSL version installed by apt. -Øystein >
