Useful Apps​

Apps for Linux can run in window GUI; graphically demanding apps are slower. Some are reasonably stable, until the window is resized considerably.

The WSLg mode is usefull for scientific applications and utilities. The ability to run bash commands quickly is great for testing and exploring.
