Darktable windows review2/24/2023 If you're looking for how WSLg works, we can get you started there also: Microsoft decided to go future-forward and build using the Wayland protocol rather than the increasingly elderly X11/xorg. Heading to YouTube in it worked perfectly, too, with neither frame drops in the video nor glitches in the audio. When I installed WSLg on Windows 11 on the Framework laptop, running firefox from the Ubuntu terminal popped up the iconic browser automatically. If this is your first time hearing of WSLg, the short version is simple: you can install GUI apps-for example, Firefox-from your Ubuntu (or other distro) command line, and they'll work as expected, including sound.

The good news is that we still hadn't covered the best part of Windows 11: Linux.įor years now, Windows 10's Windows Subsystem for Linux has been making life easier for developers, sysadmins, and hobbyists who have one foot in the Windows world and one foot in the Linux world.
