Microsoft porting Wayland to WSL2

Quite interesting news has passed on ZDNet: Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 ported Wayland, which will allow you to run graphical applications from Linux on Windows 10. They worked before, but for this you had to install a third-party X server, and with Wayland porting everything will work right away. In fact, the user will see the RDP client through which he will see the application. Planned in the future access to video card, but this requires a DirectX driver in the upstream kernel, but developers don't like this idea, since in fact the driver will serve as a tunnel for the Windows blob into the Linux kernel space.
