GWSL is an open-source Windows XServer application that automates running graphical Linux apps on Windows 10 via WSL and over SSH. It wraps VCXSRV with a friendly dashboard UI for launching Linux apps, managing them, and creating Windows shortcuts.
Use cases
- run graphical Linux apps on Windows 10 from WSL
- display GUI apps from remote Linux machines over SSH
- create Windows Start Menu shortcuts for Linux applications
- manage XServer profiles without memorizing commands
- forward X11 display to WSL2 automatically
When to choose
- you want an easy, GUI-driven way to run Linux GUI apps on Windows 10
- you need X11 forwarding over SSH with a simple interface
- you prefer an open-source alternative to paid XServers like X410 or MobaXterm
When to avoid
- you are on Windows 11 and can use WSLg natively
- you need a headless or command-line-only X server setup
- you require a cross-platform solution beyond Windows
