dannysu on July 29, 2017 | next [–] I've been using VcXsrv.

I tried both Xming (donated and got the most recent versions) and VcXsrv. I found VcXsrv to be faster and dynamically picks up my screen resolution. Xming doesn't do that out of the box.

However, I find that both are terrible when my network is a bit unstable such as when I'm in transit. That's the major pain point I have.

saboot on July 29, 2017 | parent | next [–] The free version of xming works for about 99% of things, the other 1% needs the updates provided by the charity ware version, or something more recent

> NO current plans to support X/GUI apps, desktops, servers, etc. at this time

zbuttram on July 29, 2017 | parent | next [–] No plans to support specifically, but a surprising amount of things work simply due to their effort making the rest of it work.

nikanj on July 29, 2017 | parent | prev | next [–] Yes, I know Microsoft doesn't have an X server. This is why I asked if people could recommend a 3rd party one.

I think what they mean by "no current plans to support X/GUI apps" is that WSL itself doesn't include support for an X server but you can still go ahead and connect X applications to any running X server.

am1988 on July 29, 2017 | parent | prev | next [–] It still works. X is a protocol, install a server and point at it.

It's unsupported, which means it doesn't necessarily work well and they won't help you out.
